Lyrics
(Napoleone Bonaparte nacque ad Ajaccio il 15 agosto del 1769
Il 22 ottobre del 1784 lasciò la scuola militare di Briennes
Con il grado di cadetto. Nel settembre del 1785 fu promosso
Sottotenente. Nel 1793 fu promosso generale, nel 1799 promosso
Primo console, nel 1804 si promosse imperatore. Nel 1805 si promosse
Re d’Italia. E chi non ricorderà tutte queste date, sarà bocciato!)
C’era una volta un imperatore, si chiamava Napoleone
E quando non aveva torto, di sicuro aveva ragione… Napoleone
Napoleone era fatto così
Se diceva di no, non diceva di sì
Quando andava di là, non veniva di qua
Se saliva lassù, non scendeva quaggiù
Se correva in landò, non faceva il caffè
Se mangiava un bigné, non contava per tre
Se diceva di no, non diceva di sì
Napoleone andava a cavallo e la gente lo stava a vedere
E quando non andava a piedi, era proprio un cavaliere… Napoleone!
Napoleone era fatto così:
Se diceva di no, non diceva di sì
Quando andava di là, non veniva di qua
Se cascava di lì, non cascava di qui
Se faceva popò, non diceva però
Quando apriva l’oblò, non chiudeva il comò
Se diceva di sì, non diceva di no
Di tutti gli uomini della terra, Napoleone era il più potente
E quando aveva la bocca chiusa, non diceva proprio niente… Napoleone!
Napoleone era fatto così:
Se diceva di no, non diceva di sì
Quando andava di là, non veniva di qua
Se saliva lassù, non scendeva quaggiù
Se correva in landò, non faceva il caffè
Se mangiava un bigné, non contava per tre
Se faceva pipì, non faceva popò
Anche lui come te, anche lui come me:
Se diceva di no, non diceva di sì
Lyrics translation
(Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio on August 15, 1769
On 22 October 1784 he left the briennes military school
With the rank of Cadet. In September 1785 he was promoted
Lieutenant. In 1793 he was promoted general, in 1799 promoted
First consul, in 1804 he promoted himself emperor. In 1805 he was promoted
King of Italy. And whoever does not remember all these dates, will be rejected!)
Once Upon a time there was an emperor, his name was Napoleon
And when he was not wrong, he was certainly right... Napoleon
Napoleon was made like this
If he said no, he didn't say yes
When he went that way, he didn't come that way.
If he went up there, he wouldn't go down here.
If he ran in Lando, he didn't make coffee
If she ate a cupcake, it didn't count for three
If he said no, he didn't say yes
Napoleon was riding horses and people were watching him
And when he didn't walk, he was quite a knight... Napoleon!
Napoleon was made like this:
If he said no, he didn't say yes
When he went that way, he didn't come that way.
If it fell from there, it didn't fall from here.
If he pooped, he wouldn't say
When he opened the porthole, he did not close the dresser
If he said yes, he didn't say no
Of all the men on Earth, Napoleon was the most powerful
And when his mouth was closed, he didn't say anything... Napoleon!
Napoleon was made like this:
If he said no, he didn't say yes
When he went that way, he didn't come that way.
If he went up there, he wouldn't go down here.
If he ran in Lando, he didn't make coffee
If she ate a cupcake, it didn't count for three
If he peed, he didn't poop.
He's like you, he's like me.:
If he said no, he didn't say yes
