Quarantaquattro Gatti
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!

Forty-Four Cats
In the basement of a big building
all the kittens without an owner
organized a meeting
to clarify the situation.
Forty-four cats,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
joined together compactly,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
with their whiskers aligned,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
their tails twisted,
in a row of six with the remainder of two.
Six times seven is forty-two,
plus two is forty-four!
They asked all the children,
who are friends with all the kittens,
for a meal a day and, on occasion,
to be able to sleep on the armchairs!
