Текст и перевод песни Piccolo Coro Dell'Antoniano - La zanzara

La zanzara

Era una zanzara in abito da sera,
Se l'era messo per far bella figura,
E se ne volava intorno ad una culla,
Una culla bella con un fiocco rosa...

Così volando, però, ve lo assicuro,
Aveva in mente un tenero pensiero:
Voleva fare la serenata
Ad una bimba che s'era addormentata:

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin...

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin - zin zin...

Povere zanzare, non sono mai gradite,
Anche se sono in abito da sera!
E sul muro bianco, ecco all'improvviso
L'ombra di una mano... una grande mano...!

Ma la zanzara, più furba e più spedita,
Riuscì a sfuggire da quelle cinque dita,
E dopo un poco, indovinate,
La serenata la volle fare a me:

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin...

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin - zin zin...

E dopo un poco, indovinate,
La serenata la volle fare a me:

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin...

Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin
Zin zin zin zin - zin zin zin zin - zin zin!

The Mosquito

She was a mosquito in an evening gown,
She had put it on to make a good impression,
And she was flying around a crib,
A beautiful crib with a pink bow...

But as she flew, I assure you,
She had a tender thought in mind:
She wanted to serenade
A baby girl who had fallen asleep:

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing...

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing - zing zing...

Poor mosquitoes, they are never welcome,
Even if they are in evening gowns!
And on the white wall, suddenly...
The shadow of a hand... a big hand...!

But the mosquito, being more cunning and agile,
Managed to escape from those five fingers,
And after a while, guess what,
She wanted to serenade me:

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing...

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing - zing zing...

And after a while, guess what,
She wanted to serenade me:

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing...

Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing
Zing zing zing zing - zing zing zing zing - zing zing!
