Il Matto(original) |
Mi dicevano il matto perchè prendevo la vita |
Da giullare, da pazzo, con un’allegria infinita |
D’altra parte è assai meglio, dentro questa tragedia |
Ridersi addosso, non piangere e voltarla in commedia |
Quando mi hanno chiamato per la guerra, dicevo: |
«Beh, è naja, soldato!» |
e ridevo, ridevo |
Mi han marchiato e tosato, mi hanno dato un fucile |
Rancio immondo, ma io allegro, ridevo da morire |
Facevo scherzi, mattane, naturalmente ai fanti |
Agli osti e alle puttane, ma non risparmiavo i santi |
E un giorno me l’han giocata, mi han ricambiato il favore |
E dal fucile mi han tolto l' intero caricatore |
Mi son trovato il nemico di fronte e abbiamo sparato |
Chiaramente io a vuoto, lui invece mi ha centrato |
Perchè quegli occhi stupiti, perchè mentre cadevo |
Per terra, la morte addosso, io ridevo, ridevo? |
Ora qui non sto male, ora qui mi consolo |
Ma non mi sembra normale ridere sempre da solo, ridere sempre da solo! |
(translation) |
They told me crazy because I was taking life |
As a jester, as a madman, with infinite joy |
On the other hand, it is much better within this tragedy |
Laugh at each other, don't cry and turn it into a comedy |
When they called me for the war, I said: |
"Well, it's naja, soldier!" |
and I laughed, I laughed |
They branded and shorn me, they gave me a gun |
Unclean ration, but I was happy, I laughed to death |
I played jokes, madmen, of course to the infantrymen |
To the hosts and the whores, but I did not spare the saints |
And one day they played it on me, they returned the favor |
And they took the entire magazine out of my rifle |
I found the enemy in front of me and we fired |
Clearly I am empty, he instead hit me |
Why those amazed eyes, why as I fell |
On the ground, death on me, I laughed, did I laugh? |
Now I don't feel bad here, now I take comfort here |
But it doesn't seem normal to me to always laugh alone, always laugh alone! |
