In a cavern, in a canyon,
In una caverna, in un canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Lavori di scavo di una miniera
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
Dilungato un minatore Forty Niner,
And his daughter Clementine
E sua figlia Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Tu sei perso e andato per sempre
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Dreadful dispiace, Clementine.
Light she was and like a fairy,
Accendi era e come una fata,
And her shoes were number nine,
E le sue scarpe erano numero nove,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Scatole di aringhe, senza topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.
Sandali erano per Clementine.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Tu sei perso e andato per sempre
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Dreadful dispiace, Clementine.
Drove she ducklings to the water
Ha guidato lei anatroccoli per l'acqua
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Ev'ry mattina solo alle nove,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Colpire il piede contro una scheggia,
Fell into the foaming brine.
Cadde in salamoia formazione di schiuma.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Tu sei perso e andato per sempre
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Dreadful dispiace, Clementine.
Ruby lips above the water,
Rubino labbra sopra l'acqua,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
Soffiando bolle, morbido e fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
Ma, ahimè, non ero nuotatore,
So I lost my Clementine.
Così ho perso la mia Clementina.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Tu sei perso e andato per sempre
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Dreadful dispiace, Clementine.
How I missed her! How I missed her,
Quanto mi mancava! Quanto mi mancava,
How I missed my Clementine,
Come ho perso la mia Clementina,
But I kissed her little sister,
Ma ho baciato la sua sorellina,
I forgot my Clementine.
Ho dimenticato la mia Clementina.
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!
Thou art lost and gone forever
Tu sei perso e andato per sempre
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Dreadful dispiace, Clementine.
