Come di [English translation]

Look at them, they lean out of runnig trains

they smile at you in their undershirts

like, like...

Like, like an orchestra deceived in Naples

and then reprimanded in Minneapolis

like... Comédie1

The comedy of one day, one day of your life

the comedy, the comedy...

But what is the dizzying light

the gaze of a woman that strikes you like lightning

like, like...

Like and old lover seen in Naples

through high magnification binoculars

the comedy, comedy of one day

The comedy...

Tell me, memories become simpler

here in the sweet, sad sound

like, like, like...

Like, like an orchestra plummeting

into a fan at the Grand-Hotel,

comedy, comedy...
