Carlo Martello ritorna dalla battaglia di Poitiers (original)Carlo Martello ritorna dalla battaglia di Poitiers (translation)
Re Carlo tornava dalla guerra King Charles was returning from the war
Lo accoglie la sua terra His land welcomes him
Cingendolo d’allor Encircling it from then
Al sol della calda primavera In the sun of the warm spring
Lampeggia l’armatura The armor flashes
Del sire vincitor Of the sire vincitor
Il sangue del principe del Moro The blood of the Prince of the Moor
Arrossano il ciniero They blush the ciniero
D’identico color Of the same color
Ma più che del corpo le ferite But more than the body's wounds
Da Carlo son sentite They are heard by Carlo
Le bramosie d’amor The greed for love
«se ansia di gloria e sete d’onore "If you are anxious for glory and thirst for honor
Spegne la guerra al vincitore He extinguishes the war on the victor
Non ti concede un momento per fare all’amore He doesn't give you a moment to make love
Chi poi impone alla sposa soave di castità Who then imposes on the bride sweet chastity
La cintura in me grave The belt in me grave
In battaglia può correre il rischio di perder la chiave" In battle he may run the risk of losing the key "
Così si lamenta il Re cristiano Thus complains the Christian King
S’inchina intorno il grano The wheat bows around
Gli son corona i fior The flowers are crowned by him
Lo specchi di chiara fontanella The clear fountain mirrors
Riflette fiero in sella He proudly reflects in the saddle
Dei Mori il vincitor The winner of the Moors
Quand’ecco nell’acqua si compone When it is composed in the water
Mirabile visione Wonderful vision
Il simbolo d’amor The symbol of love
Nel folto di lunghe trecce bionde In the thick of long blonde braids
Il seno si confonde The breast gets confused
Ignudo in pieno sol Ignudo in full sol
«Mai non fu vista cosa più bella «Never was there seen anything more beautiful
Mai io non colsi siffatta pulzella» I never caught such a maid "
Disse Re Carlo scendendo veloce di sella King Charles said quickly getting out of the saddle
«De' cavaliere non v’accostate "De 'cavaliere do not approach
Già d’altri è gaudio quel che cercate Already what you seek is joy of others
Ad altra più facile fonte la sete calmate» To another easier source, quench your thirst "
Sorpreso da un dire sì deciso Surprised by a firm yes
Sentendosi deriso Feeling mocked
Re Carlo s’arrestò King Charles stopped
Ma più dell’onor poté il digiuno But fasting could more than honor
Fremente l’elmo bruno The brown helmet is quivering
Il sire si levò The sire rose
Codesta era l’arma sua segreta This was his secret weapon
Da Carlo spesso usata Often used by Carlo
In gran difficoltà In great difficulty
Alla donna apparve un gran nasone The woman had a big nose
E un volto da caprone And a goat face
Ma era sua maestà But it was his majesty
«Se voi non foste il mio sovrano» "If you weren't my sovereign"
Carlo si sfila il pesante spadone Carlo takes off the heavy sword
«non celerei il disio di fuggirvi lontano «I would not hide the desire to run away from you
Ma poiché siete il mio signore" But since you are my lord "
Carlo si toglie l’intero gabbione Carlo takes off the entire gabion
«debbo concedermi spoglia ad ogni pudore» "I must allow myself undressed at all modesty"
Cavaliere egli era assai valente Knight he was very valiant
Ed anche in quel frangente And even at that juncture
D’onor si ricoprì He covered himself with honor
E giunto alla fin della tenzone It has come to the end of the battle
Incerto sull’arcione Uncertain about the saddle
Tentò di risalir He tried to go up
Veloce lo arpiona la pulzella The maid harpoons him quickly
Repente la parcella Repent the fee
Presenta al suo signor Introduce to your mr
«Beh proprio perché voi siete il sire «Well precisely because you are the sire
Fan cinquemila lire Fan five thousand lire
È un prezzo di favor» It's a favor price "
«E' mai possibile o porco di un cane «It is never possible or pig of a dog
Che le avventure in codesto reame What adventures in this realm
Debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane We must all work out with big whores
Anche sul prezzo c'è poi da ridire There is also one to complain about the price
Ben mi ricordo che pria di partire Well I remember that before leaving
V’eran tariffe inferiori alle tremila lire" There were rates below three thousand lire "
Ciò detto agì da gran cialtrone That said, he acted like a big scoundrel
Con balzo da leone With a lion's leap
In sella si lanciò In the saddle he launched himself
Frustando il cavallo come un ciuco Whipping the horse like a donkey
Fra i glicini e il sambuco Between wisteria and elderberry
Il Re si dileguò The King disappeared
Re Carlo tornava dalla guerra King Charles was returning from the war
Lo accoglie la sua terra His land welcomes him
Cingendolo d’allor Encircling it from then
Al sol della calda primavera In the sun of the warm spring
Lampeggia l’armatura The armor flashes
Del sire vincitorOf the sire vincitor
