song about house

Some days ago two Russians bought a house in Montalto. On this occasion I’d like to post this old Italian song:

La casa

(Vinicius de Moraes - Sergio Bardotti - Sergio Endrigo)

Era una casa molto carina
senza soffitto, senza cucina;
non si poteva entrarci dentro
perché non c’era il pavimento.
Non si poteva andare a letto
in quella casa non c’era il tetto;
non si poteva far la pipì
perché non c’era vasino lì.
Ma era bella, bella davvero
in Via dei Matti numero zero;
ma era bella, bella davvero
in Via dei Matti numero zero.
There was a nice house -
without ceiling and kitchen,
you could not enter it,
because there was no floor.
You could not go to bed,
because there was no roof,
You could not have a piss,
because was no pot.
But it was really beautiful -
At number zero, Madmen street,
but it was really beautiful -
At number zero, Madmen street

It is a rather precise description of the house they bought  (big walls with some land). If they invest twice as much as they have paid, they will have a really comfortable house.
