Luciano Pavarotti - Vesti la giubba from pagliacci - vocal lyrics

Recitar! mentre preso dal delirio Non so pi quel che dico E quel che faccio! Eppur duopo sforzati! Bah! Sei tu forse un uom? Tu se' Pagliaccio! Vesti la giubba E la faccia infarina La gente paga e rider vuole qua E se Arlecchin Tinvola Colombina Ridi, Pagliacco, e ognun applaudir! Tramuta in lazzi Lo spasmo ed il pianto In una smorfia il singhiozzo El dolor Ah! Ridi, Pagliaccio Sul tuo amore infranto Ridi del duol che tavvelena il cor Synopses Canio, his wife nedda, and their troupe perform adulterous Comedies in their traveling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. canio Has just been warned that nedda is in the arms of another man. When canio Arrives, the man is gone. Tell me his name! he threatens. Just at That moment, they announce, its show time! English translation Go on stage, while Im nearly delirious? I dont know what Im saying or what Im doing! And yet, chin up! Ill try harder. Bah, you think youre a man? You are just a clown! on with the show, man And put on your white-face The people pay you and you must make them laugh And if harlequin should steal your columbine, laugh Youre pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you! Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow And with your clowns face hide grief and distress...
