Avevo un' asinello
I had a little donkey
davvero saporito
really tasty
adesso me l'hanno ammazzato
now the killed him
povero asino mio
my poor little donkey
Che bella voce aveva
What a beautiful voice it had
pareva un gran tenore
It was like that of a great tenor
asinello del mio cuore
Little donkey of my heart
come ti potrò mai scordare
how will I ever forget you
e quando cantava faceva:
and when he sung it was like:
iha, iha, iha...
iha, iha, iha...
asinello del mio cuore
Little donkey of my heart
come ti potrò mai scordare
how will I ever forget you
Quando incontrava un compagno
When he would meet up with a someone
subito lo odorava
he would sniff them right away
e dopo lo grattava
and then he wound rub up on them
con grande carità
with great generosity
Che bella voce aveva
What a beautiful voice it had
pareva un gran tenore
It was like that of a great tenor
asinello del mio cuore
Little donkey of my heart
come ti potrò mai scordare
how will I ever forget you
e quando cantava faceva:
and when he sung it was like:
iha, iha, iha...
iha, iha, iha...
asinello del mio cuore
Little donkey of my heart
come ti potrò mai scordare
how will I ever forget you
