Lyrics

Ma che bello pappagallo
Tutto verde l’occhio giallo
Cosa fai che cosa vuoi
Parli parli parli parli
Parlo parlo parlo parlo
Ma che bello pappagallo
Tutto verde l’occhio giallo
Ma che bello pappagallo
Parlo parlo parlo s?
Tutto verde l’occhio giallo
Ma che? Bello pappagallo
Ma che triste pappagallo
Tutto verde l’occhio giallo
Se sei triste cosa fai
Canti canti come un gallo
Canto canto canto canto
Sono un triste pappagallo
Sempre solo come un gallo
Sono un triste pappagallo
Canto canto canto s?
Sempre solo come un gallo
Sono un triste pappagallo
Pappagallo poverino
Tu sei vecchio e sei bambino
Chi lo sa quanti anni hai
Un bambino di cent’anni
Piango e rido piango e rido
Pappagallo poverino
Ho cent’anni e son bambino
Pappagallo poverino
Ho cent’anni e son bambino
Pappagallo poverino
Pappagallo brasiliano
Il Brasile ormai? Lontano
Tu che libero sei nato
Te lo sei dimenticato
Tu che libero sei nato
Te lo sei dimenticato
Parli forte e pensi piano
Pappagallo brasiliano
Te lo sei dimenticato
Parli forte e pensi piano
Pappagallo brasiliano

Lyrics translation

But what a beautiful parrot
All green the yellow eye
What you do what you want
Talk Talk Talk Talk
I talk I talk I talk
But what a beautiful parrot
All green the yellow eye
But what a beautiful parrot
Talk Talk Talk s?
All green the yellow eye
But what? Beautiful parrot
But what a sad parrot
All green the yellow eye
If you're sad what do you do
You sing you sing like a rooster
Corner Corner Corner Corner
I'm a sad parrot
Always just like a cock
I'm a sad parrot
Canto canto canto s?
Always just like a cock
I'm a sad parrot
Poor parrot
You are old and you are child
Who knows how old you are
A hundred-year-old child
I cry and laugh I cry and laugh
Poor parrot
I'm a hundred years old and I'm a child
Poor parrot
I'm a hundred years old and I'm a child
Poor parrot
Brazilian parrot
Brazil now? Away
You who are free are born
You forgot.
You who are free are born
You forgot.
Speak loudly and think softly
Brazilian parrot
You forgot.
Speak loudly and think softly
Brazilian parrot
