NON PIU ANDRAI
Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso, You won't be fluttering around anymore,
Notte e giorno d'intorno girando, like an amorous butterfly night and day,
Delle belle turbando il riposo, Disturbing the sleep of beauties,
Narcisetto, Adoncino d'amor. You little Narcissus and Adonis of love.
Non piu avrai questi bei penacchini, You won't have those fine feathers anymore,
Quel cappello leggiero e galante, That light and jaunty hat,
Quella chioma, quell'aria brillante, That hair, that shining aspect,
Quel vermiglio donnesco color! Those womanish red cheeks!
Fra guerrieri, poffar Bacco! Among soldiers, by Bacchus!
Gran mustacchi, stretto sacco, A bushy moustache, a nifty knapsack,
Schioppo in spalla, sciabla al fianco, Gun on your back, sword at your side,
Collo dritto, muso franco, Your neck straight, your nose exposed,
Un gran casco, o un gran turbante, A big helmet, or a big turban,
Molto onor, poco contante. A lot of honour, very little pay.
Ed in vece del fandango And in place of the dance
Una marcia per il fango. A march through the mud.
Per montagne, per valloni, Over mountains, through valleys,
Con le nevi, e i solioni, With snow, and heat-stroke,
Al concerto di tromboni, To the music of trumpets,
Di bombarde, di cannoni, Of bombards, and of cannons,
Che le palle in tutti i tuoni, Which, at every boom,
All'orecchio fan fischiar. Will make bullets whistle past your ear.
Cherubino, alla vittoria! Cherubino, go to victory!
Alla gloria militar! To military glory!
