Farewell, Angelina |
| Farewell Angelina, the bells of the crown |
| Are being stolen by bandits, I must follow the sound |
| The triangle tingles, the music plays slow |
| But farewell Angelina, the night is on fire, and I must go |
| There is no use in talking and there’s no need for blame |
| There is nothing to prove, everything still is the same |
| The table stands empty by the edge of the stream |
| But farewell Angelina, the sky’s changing colors, and I must leave |
| The jacks and the queens they have forsake the courtyard |
| Fifty-two gypsies now file past the guard |
| In the space where the deuce and the ace once ran wild |
| Farewell Angelina, the sky is folding, I’ll see you after a while |
| See the cross-eyed pirate sit perched in the sun |
| Shooting tin cans with a sawed-off shotgun |
| And the corporals and the neighbors clap and cheer with each blast |
| But farewell Angelina, the sky is trembling, and I must leave fast |
| King Kong little elves in the rooftops they dance |
| Valentino-type tangos while the hero’s clean hands |
| Shut the eyes of the dead not to embarrass anyone |
| Farewell Angelina, the sky is flooding over, and I must be gone |
| The camouflaged parrot, he flutters from fear |
| When something he doesn’t know about suddenly appears |
| What can not be imitated perfect must die |
| Farewell Angelina, the sky’s flooding over, and I must go where it is dry |
| Machine guns are roaring, puppets heave rocks |
| At misunderstood visions and at the faces of clocks |
| Call me any name you like, I will never deny it |
| But farewell Angelina, the sky is erupting, and I must go where it’s quiet |
