| Macaco (original) | Macaco (translation) |
|---|---|
| Lussureggiava il mare | The sea was luxuriant |
| e il mondo delle donne | and the world of women |
| nell’aria calda vampeggiava, | in the warm air she was blazing, |
| dove lui passeggiava | where he used to walk |
| anche lei arrivava? | did she arrive too? |
| il resto? | the rest? |
| tutto da scimpanz? | all chimpanzee? |
| Lui faceva niente | He did nothing |
| era un tipo andante | he was a going guy |
| ma lei chiss? | but who knows? |
| per? | for? |
| cosa pensava, | what was she thinking, |
| e in un istante opaco | and in an instant opaque |
| lei gli fa: Macaco | she says to him: Macaque |
| e il resto? | and the rest? |
| tutto da scimpanz? | all chimpanzee? |
| Lussureggiava il mare | She luxuriated the sea |
| e il mondo delle donne | and the world of women |
| nell’aria insonne vampeggiava | in the sleepless air he blazed |
| inconfondibilmente | unmistakably |
| ineluttabilmente? | inevitably? |
| il resto? | the rest? |
| tutto da scimpanz? | all chimpanzee? |
| ?Ah, no bueno «Macaco»? | Oh, no good "Macaque"? |
