Lodovico - Nicola Arigliano

Fra tanti amici miei ci sta un amico

E ve lo dico

Lodovico

Che degli amici l’araba fenice

La Beatrice

Che fa felice

Domandagli un favor, te ne fa due

Gli cerchi mille lire,

Sono tue

E se gli chiedi il naso non si sbaglia

Lui se lo taglia

E te lo d Lodovico sei proprio un vero amico

Di stampo antico

Non sai dir no!

Lodovico sei dolce come un fico

Pi caro amico

Di te non ho Mi daresti se lo voglio:

L’orologio e il portafoglio

E il vestito col cappello

Con l’ombrello e tua sorella

Lodovico sei dolce come un fico

Pi caro amico

Di te non ho Go man!

Aveva una ragazza, Lodovico

Un quadro antico

Siccome mi piaceva tanto gliela chiesi

Dopo pochi mesi

Restammo intesi

Ma quando la ragazza un certo giorno

Con un bambino biondo fe' ritorno

Io dissi a Lodovico «Amico mio

Non sono io Sei tu il pap»

Lodovico sei proprio un vero amico

Di stampo antico

Non sai dir no!

Lodovico sei dolce come un fico

Pi caro amico

Di te non ho Mi daresti se lo voglio:

L’orologio e il portafoglio

E il vestito col cappello

Con l’ombrello e tua sorella

Lodovico sei dolce come un fico

Pi caro amico

Di te non ho…

Lodovico sei proprio un pro-fico!

Among so many of my friends there is a friend

And I tell you

Lodovico

That of friends the phoenix

The Beatrice

That makes you happy

Ask him for a favor, he'll give you two

You look for him a thousand lire,

They are yours

And if you ask him for his nose he is not wrong

He cuts it

And Lodovico gives you a real friend

Of ancient mold

You can't say no!

Lodovico, you are as sweet as a fig

Dearest friend

I don't have you, would you give me if I want it:

The watch and the wallet

And the dress with the hat

With an umbrella and your sister

Lodovico, you are as sweet as a fig

Dearest friend

I have no Go man of you!

He had a girlfriend, Lodovico

An ancient painting

Since I liked it so much, I asked him

After a few months

We were understood

But when the girl some day

With a blond child he returned

I said to Lodovico «My friend

It's not me You're the dad "

Lodovico you are a real friend

Of ancient mold

You can't say no!

Lodovico, you are as sweet as a fig

Dearest friend

I don't have you, would you give me if I want it:

The watch and the wallet

And the dress with the hat

With an umbrella and your sister

Lodovico, you are as sweet as a fig

Dearest friend

I don't have you ...

Lodovico you are really a pro-fico!
