Lyrics

Un uomo onesto, un uomo probo
Tralalalalla tralallalero
S’innamorò perdutamente
D’una che non lo amava niente
Gli disse «Portami domani»
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Gli disse «Portami domani
Il cuore di tua madre per i miei cani»
Lui dalla madre andò e l’uccise
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Dal petto il cuore le strappò
E dal suo amore ritornò
Non era il cuore non era il cuore
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Non le bastava quell’orrore
Voleva un’altra prova del suo cieco amore
Gli disse ancor «Se mi vuoi bene»
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Gli disse ancor «Se mi vuoi bene
Tagliati dei polsi le quattro vene»
Le vene ai polsi lui si tagliò
Tralalalalla tralallalero
E come il sangue ne sgorgò
Correndo come un pazzo da lei tornò
Gli disse lei ridendo forte
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Gli disse lei ridendo forte
«L'ultima tua prova sarà la morte»
E mentre il sangue lento usciva
E ormai cambiava il suo colore
La vanità fredda gioiva
Un uomo s’era ucciso per il suo amore
Fuori soffiava dolce il vento
Tralalalalla tralallalero
Ma lei fu presa da sgomento
Quando lo vide morir contento
Morir contento e innamorato
Quando a lei nulla era restato
Non il suo amore, non il suo bene
Ma solo il sangue secco delle sue vene

Lyrics translation

An honest man, a probo man
Tralalalalla tralallalero
She fell madly in love
Of one who didn't love him at all
He said, " Bring Me Tomorrow.»
Tralalalalla tralallalero
He said, " Bring Me Tomorrow.
Your mother's heart for my dogs»
He went to his mother and killed her
Tralalalalla tralallalero
From the chest the heart tore them
And from his love he returned
It wasn't the heart it wasn't the heart
Tralalalalla tralallalero
That horror wasn't enough for her
He wanted another proof of his blind love
He said to him, " if you love me»
Tralalalalla tralallalero
He said to him, " if you love me
Cut off the wrists the four veins»
The veins on his wrists he cut himself
Tralalalalla tralallalero
And how the blood flowed from it
Running like a madman from her returned
She said to him laughing loudly
Tralalalalla tralallalero
She said to him laughing loudly
"Your last trial will be death»
And as the slow blood came out
And by now it was changing its color
Cold Vanity rejoiced
A man had killed himself for his love
Outside the wind blew sweet
Tralalalalla tralallalero
But she was taken aback
When he saw him die happy
To die happy and in love
When she had nothing left
Not his love, not his good
But only the dry blood of his veins
