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