Il vecchietto [English translation]

Mom, where is grandpa?

Grandma, can we go to the carousel?

Grandpa, Grandpa, where is grandpa?

He packed his suitcase and left

because the daughter-in-law does not want him anymore.

He is too old, too shabby,

he can't stand children anymore.

So he went to a rest home

but they answered "no".

We're so sorry, man, there's no place

we are already packed too tight, we can't accept you.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Ah ah

ah ah

He went straight, straight to the hospital

asking for a place at the reception

I can not take it anymore, I feel bad,

I am close to the Extreme Unction (1) now.

But the doctor on shift apologized

looking at him with a stupid smile.

"You do not understand how bad the situation is here:

we have patient even in the toilet.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Ah ah

ah ah

Then not knowing what to do

he did what a madman could do.

With a rope around the neck, at the bottom of the sea,

he pretended to be a cod.

At the great cemetery of Verano (2)

he just got off the van,

and the guardian immediately got angry

starting to talk to the gravedigger.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

I'm sorry, but there's no place,

there is no place, for heaven's sake.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

It will turn out that he will find no place

not even in the afterworld.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

It will turn out that he will find no place

not even in the afterworld.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

It will turn out that he will find no place

not even in the afterworld.

Oh, where can I put this old man,

where can I put him, nobody knows.

It will turn out that he will find no place

not even in the afterworld.
