Il Gorilla : traduction de Italien vers Anglais
In a city square
People watched in admiration
A gorilla brought there
By the gypsies of a sideshow
With little sense of modesty
The women of that neighborhood
Contemplated the animal
I won't say how, I won't say where
Beware of the gorilla
Suddenly the large cage
Where the animal lived
Opened abruptly, I don't know why
Maybe they had closed it badly
The beast coming out of there
Said, "Today I'm getting rid of it"
He was talking about virginity
Of which he still lived a slave
Beware of the gorilla
The owner started screaming
"My gorilla, be careful"
"He has never seen a monkey"
"He could get confused"
All those present at this point
Ran in every direction
Even the women demonstrating
The difference between idea and action
Beware of the gorilla
All the people run in a hurry
Here and there with great fervor
Only an old woman lingers
And a young judge in a robe
Seeing that the others had melted away
The quadruped accelerated
And on the old woman and the magistrate
With four jumps he carried himself
Beware of the gorilla
"Bah", sighed the old woman thinking
"That I was still desired"
"It would be quite strange"
"And more than anything not hoped for"
"That I am taken for a monkey"
Thought the judge short of breath
"It's not possible, this is certain"
The sequel proves he was wrong
Beware of the gorilla
If any of you should
Forced with your back to the wall
Violate a judge or an old woman
I would be sure of his choice
But it happens that the gorilla
Considered a great hunk
By those who have tried it, however, does not shine
Neither for the spirit nor for the taste
Beware of the gorilla
In fact, he, scorned the old woman
He heads for the magistrate
He grabs him hard by an ear
And drags him into the middle of a meadow
What happened in the tall grass
I can't tell it all
But the show was gripping
And there really was "suspense"
Beware of the gorilla
I will only say that at the height
Of the unpleasant and gloomy drama
The judge cried like a calf
In the intervals he shouted, "Mom"
He shouted, "Mom" like that guy
Who the day before like a chicken
With a somewhat original sentence
Had his neck cut off
Beware of the gorilla
