Salame and New Ears

It's recital time! The pre-school did something a little more traditional this year, all the kids were given laterns (the big kids had ones made out of paper and had candles inside and the little kids, like Sophia had ones made with flashlights). The kids and parents did a procession through the park and oratory (across the street) and then back to the school again. Outside the school the kids formed a circle with the parents outside and then say sang. You cant see Sophia because it was too dark and she was in front of me. It's a song about King Solomon:


I only mention the title because, like all kids, Sophia just sings what she hears. The words go:
No No No No No,
Qui non c'e
Pace, Pace,
Salome

Which translates to:
No (5xs)
There isn't any,
Peace, Peace
(King) Solomon

When Sophia sings, she says salami instead of Salome - which cracks us up. Okay now re-sing the song (in your head, you can watch the video if you want)-and it's a song about cured meat! ha ha! We keep singing it with pane (bread) instead of pace (peace) because it sounds funnier, but she gets mad. The other song learned at school and she sings at home is: We wish you a merry Christmas and Happy New Ears (italians don't pronounce that y sound) which also makes us ROTFL.
