my new jam.

everyday. on the bus.

la bella lavanderina
che lava i fazzoletti
per i poveretti della città.
fai un salto, fai un' altro
fai un gira volta, fai un' altra volta
guarda su
guarda giù
fai un bacio chi voli tu!

in english..more or less.
the beautiful wash girl (?..the best translation i could think of)
who washes the handkerchiefs
of the poor in the town.
jump once, jump again
turn around, and one more time
look up
look down
give a kiss to whom you wish!

Car,

Have you heard any Italians singing "Bella Ciao" on the squares at night yet? That's my jam. I'm going to send you the track, but please forgive the terribly flat final note -- it was the only version I could find at the time. Thinking of you always. I'll try to help Sar P. get her Italiano in check before she descends on Rome. Wish I could visit, too! xo
