Ziki paki ziki pu - Nicola Arigliano traduction en anglais

Ziki paki ziki pu

Ziki Paki era nata fra gli ind,
Era figlia del gran capo di laggi.
Bella bajadera, piccola e leggera,
Somigliava al padre Ziki-Pu.

Ma un bel giorno, non so proprio come fu,
Ziki-Paki s' trovata a tu per tu
Con un tipo strano, era un italiano:
Ziki-Paki non ci vide pi.
Disse: "Tu, proprio tu,
O mi baci oppur lo dico a Ziki-Pu".

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
L'italiano non ci stette a pensar su.
Se la prese per la mano,
La condusse pi lontano
Sotto un albero, laggi:

"Dimmi il tuo nome, o bella ind".
"Ziki-Paki sono e non scordarlo pi!".
E per meglio ricordar,
Tosto lui si mise a far
"Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!".

L'italiano spesso si rec' laggi
A trovar la bella figlia dell'ind.
Ma l'ardore passa, lei divenne grassa,
Ziki-Paki lui non vide pi.
Ma in sua vece un giorno venne un grosso ind
Con un bel marmocchio di color caucci.
"Questo signorino esser tuo bambino.
Prendi, fila e non tornare pi!".
E il caucci, come fu,
Somigliava tutto al nonno Ziki-Pu.

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
L'italiano non ci stette a pensar su.
Se lo prese per la mano,
Lo port' lontan lontano
Al paese suo laggi.
Appena giunto, disse: "Ors,
Dopo tutto un italiano che c' in pi".
E a chi stava a domandar
Rispondeva: "Fu per far
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!".
Vai, vai, vai!

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
L'italiano non ci stette a pensar su.
Se lo prese per la mano,
Lo port' lontan lontano
Al paese suo laggi.
Appena giunto, disse: "Ors,
Dopo tutto un italiano che c' in pi".
E a chi stava a domandar
Rispondeva: "Fu per far
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"

Ziki paki ziki pu

Ziki Paki was born among the Hindus,
She was the daughter of the great chief there.
Beautiful bayadere, small and light,
She resembled her father Ziki-Pu.

But one fine day, I don't know how it happened,
Ziki-Paki found herself face to face with
A strange type, he was an Italian:
Ziki-Paki saw no more.
She said: "You, just you,
Or I'll tell Ziki-Pu.".

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
The Italian didn't think twice.
He took her by the hand,
He led her further away
Under a tree, over there:

"Tell me your name, oh beautiful Hindu maiden".
"Ziki-Paki I am, and don't you ever forget it!".
And to better remember,
He promptly set to work
"Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!".

The Italian often went there
To visit the beautiful daughter of the Hindu maiden.
But the ardor passes, she became fat,
Ziki-Paki he saw no more.
But in his stead one day came a big Hindu
With a beautiful little boy the color of rubber.
"This gentleman is your child.
Take it, go away and never come back!".
And the rubber, as it was,
Looked just like his grandfather Ziki-Pu.

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
The Italian didn't think twice.
He took it by the hand,
He took it far, far away
To his own country over there.
As soon as he arrived, he said: "Well,
After all, what's one more Italian?".
And to those who asked
He answered: "It was to do
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!".
Go, go, go!

Ah, Ziki-Paki Ziki-Pu,
The Italian didn't think twice.
He took it by the hand,
He took it far, far away
To his own country over there.
As soon as he arrived, he said: "Well,
After all, what's one more Italian?".
And to those who asked
He answered: "It was to do
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!"
