ItalianoMio povero amico come stai?

cosa sta succedendo? (cosa sta succedendo?)

vedo che sei sempre giù di forma,

mi sembri molto triste,

e poi non ridi mai.

Dimmi che cosa c'è di sbagliato

non ti riconosco più (non ti riconosco più)

Bisogna che lo dica a tua madre

che sei un po’ palliduccio,

e che non mangi più.

Mio Pippo,

mio Peppe,

Peppino,
non ti preoccupar,

Aspetta,
con calma,

sicuro,
che tua moglie tornerà

andiamo vieni, vieni, vieni con me

fuori fuori, non ti preoccupar,

tua moglie tornerà!

Ora va a rasarti quella barba,

e fa una bella doccia, (e fa una bella doccia,)

scegliei una camicia ben pulita,

pulita e ben stirata,

e il tuo capello nero

Ti porterò in un buon ristorante

a mangiare un po’ di pasta (a mangiar' un po’ di pasta)
Vedremo tutte le belle ragazze,

passando per la strada

che mostrano le gambe.

Mio Pippo,

mio Peppe,

Peppino,
non ti preoccupar,

Aspetta,
con calma,

sicuro,
che tua moglie tornerà

andiamo vieni, vieni, vieni con me

fuori fuori, non ti preoccupar,

tua moglie tornerà!

Mon pauvre ami comment vas-tu
?
Qu’est-ce qui t’arrive
?
Je vois que tu es de moins en moins en forme,
Tu as l’air très triste,
Et tu ne ris jamais.
Dis-moi ce qui ne va pas
Je ne te reconnais plus
Il faut le dire à ta mère
Que tu es un peu trop pâle,
Et que tu ne manges plus.

Mon Pippo,
Mon Peppe,
Peppino,
Ne t’en fais pas
Attends,
Calmement,
C’est sûr,
Ta femme reviendra
Allez, viens, viens, viens avec moi
Sortons, ne t’inquiète pas
Ta femme reviendra

Allez, va raser cette barbe,
Et prends-toi une bonne douche
Choisis une belle chemise propre,
Propre et bien repassée,
Et ton chapeau noir
Je t’emmène dans un bon restaurant
Manger des pâtes
Nous regarderons toutes les jolies filles
Qui se baladent dans la rue
En montrant leurs jambes

English

My poor friend how are you doing?
What happened to you?
I see that you are less and less on form
You look sad and you never laugh
Tell me what’s up
I don’t recognize you anymore
Your mother should be told
That you’re a bit too pale
And you’re not eating anymore

My Pippo,
My Peppe,
Peppino,
Don’t worry
Wait,
Be calm
Your wife will come back

For sure
Come on, come with me
Let’s go out
Don’t worry
Your wife will come back

Come on, go and shave off this beard
Take a good shower
Pick out a nice clean shirt
Clean and well-ironed
And your black hat
And I take you to a good restaurant
We’ll eat pasta
And watch the pretty girls
Go by in the street
Showing off their legs.

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

Let my eyes keep on roamingAs you look the other wayIn the end you know I’m not goingSo we’ll just stay the same
Straight past me and straight aheadAs you tell me what you think I needYou haven’t heard a word I’ve saidJust rehearsed lines that you feed me
Stay with me in silence
I’m trying to tell you what I’m missingAs you tell me nothing is wrongBut how can you see when you don’t listenLook ahead and move along
Stay with me in silenceStay with me, but leave me in silence

Nacqui all’affanno e al pianto,
Soffri tacendo il core;
Ma per soave incanto
Dell’età mia nel fiore,
Come un baleno rapido
La sorte mia cangiò.

No, no, no, no, tergete il ciglio:
Perchè tremar, perché?
A questo sen volate,
Figlia, sorella, amica
Tutto trovate in me.

Non più mesta accanto al fuoco
Starò sola a gorgheggiar, no!
Ah fu un lampo, un sogno, un gioco
Il mio lungo palpitar.

Sich üben im Lieben
In Scherzen sich herzen
Ist besser als Florens vergängliche Lust.
Hier quellen die Wellen,
Hier lachen und wachen
Die siegenden Palmen auf Lippen und Brust.
