LYRICS:
Notte e giorno faticar,
Per chi nulla sa gradir,
Piova e vento sopportar,
Mangiar male e mal dormir.
Voglio far il gentiluomo
E non voglio più servir...
Oh che caro galantuomo!
Vuol star dentro colla bella,
Ed io far la sentinella!
Voglio far il gentiluomo
E non voglio più servir...
Ma mi par che venga gente;
Non mi voglio far sentir.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Rest I've none by night or day,
Scanty fare and doubtful pay,
Ev'ry whim I must fulfil;
Take my place whoever will!
I myself will go acourting,
I the gentleman will play,
But with him no more I'll stay,
No, no, but with him no more I'll stay
Gaily he within is sporting,
I must keep off all intrusion,
For his lordship needs seclusion.
Hark, I think, I hear him coming,
I'll keep safe out of his way.
