Lyrics

I. Mi avete dato il??? Fa???,
mi avete dato il??? Sol???,
mi avete dato il??? La???,
ma che ci posso far?
Ogni colpo prepotente
una corda rovinata!
Ma che bella serenata
e ci siamo messi in tre!
Ritornello: Buonanotte!
Le corde si son rotte,
non posso piùsuonar!
Coro: Ah! Si?
E già!
Che disdetta!
Se avessi una trombetta
potrei ricominciar!
Coro: Ah! Si?
E già!
Non capite?
Vuol sentir la serenata!??¦
Per non far l’addormentata
ha benuto sei caffè!
Coro: Ah! Si?
Embè!
Buonanotte!
Le corde si son ritte
e adesso che si fa?
Salutiamo la mia bella
che a nanna se ne va!
Coro: Ah! Si?
E già!??¦
II. Guardate! Èancora là
ed accarezza un fior,
un fiore di lillà
che a me vuol regalar!??¦
Dopo questa figuraccia,
cari amici, son persuaso
che il lillàcon tutto il vaso
dal balcone getterà!

Lyrics translation

I. did you give me the??? Fa???,
you gave me the??? Sol???,
you gave me the??? La???,
but what can I do?
Every overbearing blow
a broken rope!
But what a beautiful serenade
and we're in threesomes!
Chorus: Good Night!
The rope if its broken,
I can't sound anymore!
Chorus: Ah! Yeah?
And yes!
What a cancellation!
If I had a trumpet
I could start over!
Chorus: Ah! Yeah?
And yes!
Don't you understand?
He wants to hear the Serenade!??¦
Not to be asleep
he has six coffees!
Chorus: Ah! Yeah?
EMBE!
Good night!
The ropes are straight
what do we do now?
Let's say hello to my beautiful
he's gone to sleep!
Chorus: Ah! Yeah?
And yes!??¦
II. Look! It's still there
and caresses a flower,
a lilac flower
what he wants to give me!??¦
After this little figure,
dear friends, I am persuaded
than the Lilac with the whole vase
from the balcony will throw!
