I Pagliacci (original)I Pagliacci (translation)
Un tempo ridevo soltanto I used to just laugh
a veder l’incanto di noi to see the enchantment of us
vestiti di piume e balocchi dressed in feathers and toys
con bocche a soffietto with bellows mouths
e rossetto negli occhi and lipstick in the eye
scimmie, vecchiette obbedienti monkeys, obedient old ladies
e cavalli sapienti and wise horses
sul dorso giocar on the back play
ridere era come amar laughing was like loving
poi ripetendo il mestiere then repeating the trade
s’impara il dovere di recitar one learns the duty of acting
e pompa il salone il suo fiato and pumps the salon its breath
e il riso?and the rice?
sfiatato dal troppo soffiar vented from too much blowing
di creta mi pare il cerone of clay I think the greasepaint
s’appiccica al volto it sticks to the face
il mal del buffone the fool's sickness
ridere vorrei stasera I would like to laugh tonight
ridere vorrei per me Un Due Tre! I would like to laugh for myself One Two Three!
all’erta gli elefanti in piedi the elephants on their feet alert
saltino le pulci avanti let the fleas jump ahead
attenti passa il domatore! beware the tamer passes!
L’anima che ride The laughing soul
ride e sempre rider? laughs and always laughs?
come una preghiera like a prayer
i trapezi ronzavano elettrici the trapezes hummed electric
uccelli di piuma di un mondo di luna feather birds of a moon world
legati i compagni per mano tied his companions by the hand
libravan da pesci libravan from fish
vicini e lontano near and far
si sfioran d’un tratto i due bracci the two arms suddenly brush against each other
appesi nell’aria hanging in the air
come due stracci like two rags
sul sangue buttarono rena they threw sand on the blood
ed entran di corsa i pagliacci. and the clowns come running in.
E sempre ridere per compiacere And always laugh to please
la sala piena da mantenere the room full to keep
che bello udire how nice to hear
l’applauso ilare the hilarious applause
gonfiar la sala inflate the hall
scacciare il male chase away evil
e sempre cedere con batticuore and always give in with a heartbeat
a sogni e parole to dreams and words
da far scoppiare! to blow up!
Il padrone ha la tuba allungata The master has an elongated tuba
ed ha baffi arditi and has a bold mustache
e in fondo gi?and in the end already?
sa che restiamo alla frusta qui uguali he knows we stay the same at the whip here
felici e incapaci di esser normali happy and unable to be normal
e allora ridano gli altri di noi and then let others laugh at us
e allora ridano gli altri stasera so let the others laugh tonight
ridano gli altri per noi.others laugh for us.
