Pino D’Angiò - Ma quale idea (English Translation)
[Verse 1]
I caught her in the disco with a snake look
I went close to her, she was already out of her mind
I looked at her, she looked back at me then I let myself go
In comparison Fred Astaire was static and clumsy
I shot a kiss in her mouth, a kiss with a bang
On the footloose dancing floor then I shook her up
Sending her to the air, catching her back
Leaving her breathless, she fell into my arms
She was madly in love, I held her fast by her hips
I turned her into jam
Oh yeah, is that how you say it?
And then, and then...
[Chorus]
What idea
But what idea? Can't you see she's not easy?
What idea
But what idea? She's malicious but she knows
How to take care of a big bully like you
And besides what makes you so special that another one hasn't got?
What idea
But what idea? Can't you see she's not easy?
What idea
But what idea? Beware, she is smart
She will lead you in circles but you will never get the things you want
And tell me, what are you going to give her?
[Verse 2]
I had a great thought, I brought her in my den
I poured an orange juice and she burst into a laughter
She clung to my whiskey, she gulped down five litres
She seemed to be out of her wits
She kissed me, I kissed her
All of a sudden I held her tight but she slipped away
She looked at me, I looked at her
I stopped her, I caressed her fairy face
But she looked like a potato
I caught her, shook her up and down
Turned her into an omelette
Oh yeah, is that how you say it?
And then...
[Chorus]
What idea
But what idea? Can't you see she's not easy?
What idea
But what idea? She's malicious but she knows
How to take care of a big bully like you
And besides what makes you so special that another one hasn't got?
What idea
But what idea? Can't you see she's not easy?
What idea
But what idea? Beware, she is smart
She will lead you in circles but you will never get the things you want
And tell me, what are you going to give her?
[Outro]
What idea
But what idea?
Dance
Come on, dance
Mm
Dance
What idea, what idea, what idea
But what idea?
Dance
We, oh, dance!
But what idea?
What idea
But what idea? Can't you see she's not easy?
Dance
Dance
What idea?
