I was five and he was six,
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight.

Bang bang,
He shot me down.
Bang bang,
I hit the ground.
Bang bang,
That awful sound.
Bang bang,
My baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang,
He shot me down.
Bang bang,
I hit the ground.
Bang bang,
That awful sound.
Bang bang,
My baby shot me down.

E son passati gli anni e poi
E noi ci siamo innamorati
Correvamo per i prati
E tu scherzavi insieme a me.

A vent'anni all'improvviso,
Senza dir perché né dove
Mi hai lasciata e mi ha ucciso
Come fosse un colpo al cuore.

Bang bang,
Per ridere,
Bang bang,
Sparavi a me
Bang bang,
E vincerà,
Bang bang,
Chi al cuore colpirà.

That awful sound
Bang bang,
My baby shot me down.
