I want to build a house
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
I want to build a house surrounded by the sea
made of the feathers of a peacock.
Tralla la le la, tra la la la.
Of gold and silver I will make the stairs
and of precious stones, the balconies.
Tralla la le la, tra la la la.
When my Nennalla leans out
everyone will say, here comes the sun.
Tralla la le la, tra la la la.
