The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Bombolo" by Gino Ruggiero.
Lyrics
Era alto così, era grosso così
Lo chiamavan Bombolo
Si provò di ballar, cominciò a traballar
Fece un capitombolo
Ruzzolò di qua, rimbalzò di là
Come fa una palla
E, destin fatal, cadde in un canal
Ma rimase a galla
Pei suoi piccoli piè, pel suo grande gilet
Lo chiamavan Bombolo
E gridavano: «Ahimè, chissà mai cosa c'è
Sotto quel gilet?»
Lyrics translation
He was so tall, he was so big
They called it a cylinder.
He tried to dance, began to wobble
He made a capitombolo
He rumbled this way, bounced that way
How does a ball
And, fatal fate, fell into a canal
But it stayed afloat
For his little feet, for his big vest
They called it a cylinder.
And they cried out, "Alas, who knows what is there
Under that vest?»
