Have you been to Bella? We have been to Bella, Misspending our day, there’s nothing to tell ya. We sang to our Bella, stayed silent with Bella, Refraining from leaving, as if it’s our bedroom. Your soul has become very calloused, my fella? Don’t soften with vodka, just visit our Bella. And if you’ve got something that bothers you badly, Both pain and compassion she’ll share with you gladly.
