Farewell Angelina

Farewell Angelina

The bells of the crown

Are being stolen by bandits

I must follow the sound

The triangle tingles

The music play slow

But farewell Angelina

The night is on fire

And I must go

There is no use in talking

And there's no need for blame

There is nothing to prove

Ev’rything still is the same

A table stands empty

By the edge of the stream

But farewell Angelina

The sky's changing colours

And I must leave

The jacks and the queens

They forsake the courtyard

Fifty-two gypsies

Now file past the guards

In the space where the deuce

And the ace once ran wild

Farewell Angelina

The sky is folding

I'll see you after a while

See the cross-eyed pirates sitting

Perched in the sun

Shooting tin cans

With a sawed-off shotgun

And the corporals and neighbors

Clap and cheer with each blast

Farewell Angelina

The sky it is trembling

And I must leave fast

King Kong, little elves

In the rooftoops they dance

Valentino-type tangos

While the hero's clean hands

Shut the eyes of the dead

Not to embarrass anyone

Farewell Angelina

The sky is flooding over

And I must be gone

The camouflaged parrot

He flutters from fear

When something he doesn't know about

Suddenly appears

What cannot be imitated

Perfect must die

Farewell Angelina

The sky's flooding over

And I must go where it is dry

Machine guns are roaring

Puppets heave rocks

At misunderstood visions

And at the faces of clocks

Call me any name you like

I will never deny it

But farewell Angelina

The sky is erupting

And I must go where it's quiet
