“44 gatti” (44 cats) is one of best italian songs ever.
That song, after taking part in TV broadcast “Zecchino d’oro” - ‘The pure gold‘ – to see many italian children’s songs go here -of 1968, became so popular that even today you can hear it whistling down the street by people.
I remember well that only a few months ago, while I was working in a factory some workers, to pass the time, sang this song while their were working.
This news certainly does not pass on the pages of the media, but I am sure that ‘44 gatti’ – 44 cats – is one of the most popular songs in Italy, despite having been 40 years of age.
The success of that song, as You can see in the video belove, it’s easy to understand: the girl who sing that song is only 4 years old, the text isn’t easy to remember and to sing; but she’si too sweet; awesome!
44 gatti in italian language:
Nella cantina di un palazzone
tutti i gattini senza padrone
organizzarono una riunione
per precisare la situazione.
Quarantaquattro gatti,
in fila per sei col resto di due,
si unirono compatti,
in fila per sei col resto di due,
coi baffi allineati,
in fila per sei col resto di due,
le code attorcigliate,
in fila per sei col resto di due.
Sei per sette quarantadue,
più due quarantaquattro!
Loro chiedevano a tutti i bambini,
che sono amici di tutti i gattini,
un pasto al giorno e all’occasione,
poter dormire sulle poltrone!

in fila per sei col resto di due.
Sei per sette quarantadue,
più due quarantaquattro!
Naturalmente tutti i bambini
tutte le code potevan tirare
ogni momento e a loro piacere,
con tutti quanti giocherellare.

Quando alla fine della riunione
fu definita la situazione
andò in giardino tutto il plotone
di quei gattini senza padrone.

In the basement of a tower block
all kittens masterless
organized a meeting
to clarify the situation.
Forty-four cats,
six in a row with the rest of two
joined compact
six in a row with the rest of two
aligned with the mustache,
six in a row with the rest of two
tails are twisted,
six in a row with the rest of two.
Six to seven forty-two,
plus two forty-four!
They asked for all children,
who are friends of all the kittens
one meal a day and on occasion,
to sleep on the chairs!
