Lyrics

L’ape satan
A me satanalerde
Un tempo vi portavo tra la perduta gente
Ma la perduta gente ora va fiera per lo mondo
L’angelo ribelle non conta ormai piùniente
Le malebolgie han perso ogni valore
Nella malvestigia si èspento il fuoco eterno
Dove era pietàquand'era ormai ben morta
Non resta che un abisso in vendita all’inferno
Fatti non foste a viver come bravi
Ma a viver come bruti vi siete abituati
Virtùe conoscenza avete trascurato
Ed esser peccatori non val piùquale peccato
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo dimenticato!
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo disoccupato!
Caronte dimonio
Venduto il suo battello
Il suo occhio di bragia
adesso èspento
Si cruccia ubriaco
di fiere e di vergogna
In coda all’ufficio di collocamento
Ciambero fu fiera
Terribile e crudele
ora la tramesto legato a una catena
guardian di quegli ingiusti
che un tempo divorava
vederla in questo stato mi provoca gran pena
Fatti non foste a viver come bravi
Ma a viver come bruti vi siete abituati
Virtùe conoscenza avete trascurato
Ed esser peccatori non val piùquale peccato
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo dimenticato!
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo disoccupato!
Fatti non foste a viver come bravi
Ma a viver come bruti vi siete abituati
Virtùe conoscenza avete trascurato
Ed esser peccatori non val piùquale peccato
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo dimenticato!
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo disoccupato!
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo dimenticato!
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo
Povero diavolo disoccupato!
Ma da che èmondo e mondo
Io diavolo dannato
Cerco di smarrirvi sulla giusta via
E forse ogni cosa che testei vi ha raccontato
Èl'ennesimo inganno
Èsolo fantasia

Lyrics translation

The ape satan
To me satanalerde
I used to take you among the lost people
But the lost people are now proud of the world
The rebellious angel no longer counts
Malebolgies have lost all value
In evil is the eternal fire extinguished
Where was pity when she was now well dead
There's only one abyss left for sale in hell
Facts you were not to live as good
But to live like brutes you have become accustomed
Virtues and knowledge you have neglected
And being a sinner is no longer worth any sin
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor forgotten devil!
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor unemployed devil!
Charon dimonium
Sold his boat
His eye of bragia
now it's dead.
You cross drunk
of fairs and shame
In line at the employment office
Ciambero was proud
Terrible and cruel
now the tramesto tied to a chain
guardian of those unjust
that once devoured
to see her in this state causes me great pain
Facts you were not to live as good
But to live like brutes you have become accustomed
Virtues and knowledge you have neglected
And being a sinner is no longer worth any sin
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor forgotten devil!
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor unemployed devil!
Facts you were not to live as good
But to live like brutes you have become accustomed
Virtues and knowledge you have neglected
And being a sinner is no longer worth any sin
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor forgotten devil!
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor unemployed devil!
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor forgotten devil!
Poor devil
Poor devil
Poor unemployed devil!
But from what isworld and world
I damned devil
I try to lead you astray on the right path
And maybe everything I tested told you
It's yet another deception
It's just fantasy
