Bolton, Michael - Vesti La Giubba Lyrics






[Canio, and his wife, and their troupe perform adulterous comedies in their travelling shows. This time, though, life imitates art. Canio has just been warned that Nedda is in the arms of another man. When Canio arrives, the man is gone. "Tell me his name!" He threatens. Just at that moment, they announce, "It's show time!"]

Recitar!...mentre preso dal delirio
non so piu quel che dico e quel che faccio!
Eppur...e d'uopa...sforzati!
Bah, se tu forse un uom?
Tu se' Pagliaccio!
Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina.
La gente paga e rider vuole qua.
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina,
ridi, Pagliaccio...e ognun applaudira!
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto;
in una smorfia il singhiozzo e'l dolor...
Ridi Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!

[Translation:]

On With The Show

Go on stage, while I'm nearly delirious?
I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, chin up! I'll try harder.
Bah, you think you're a man?
You're just a clown!
On with the show, man, and put on your white-face.
The people pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if Harlequin should steal your Columbine,
laugh, you're Pagliaccio, and the world will clap for you!
Turn into banter all your pain and sorrow,
and with your clown's face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, Pagliaccio, forget all your troubles,
Laugh off the pain that so empoisons your heart.

  22. E.... B....

    Amazing

  23. G.... B....

    Heard this years ago and just found it again by accident. I’m not a Michael Bolton fan, but he acquitted himself rather brilliantly, especially considering the maestro to his left..

  24. G.... C....

    POR DIOOOS... QUE DESCARO EL DE MICHAEL BOLTON Y QUE HUMILDAD LA DE PAVAROTTI DIGNA DE LOS GRANDES LA VERDAD. DEDICATE A CANTAR MELODICO QUE TE SALE MEJOR BOLTON

    G.... C....

    Cuánta frustración y soberbia hay en tu comentario.

    G.... C....

    Pavatotri no invitó a cualquiera.Bolton puede cantar lo q quiera por es prodigio..

  25. B.... K....

    Hated this fluffy haired freak, until I heard him with Pavarotti. What's a voice. He is the only one who could keep up with the maestro.

  26. A.... S....

    Wow !!! What can I say !!!??? Michael Bolton is simply GREAT !!! Pavarotti ?? One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard !! ...

    Wonderful !!!!
    Best wishes from Mexico,

  27. M.... B....

    Well, color me surprised. I know Bolton is talented, but I didn't think he could do it, especially compared to the Maestro. But, I was pleasantly surprised. Well done.

  28. M.... B....

    *OBRA QUE SE OUVIR* 💕

  29. F.... K....

    Even though he's a blue eyed soul singer, he gave an opera piece a go along with his dear late friend but boy didn't he do so well? If he looks back, I bet he'd be so happy to do this. The memory that'll stay close to his heart. "Luciano you were once a star, now you're among them".

  30. E.... G....

    singing with the King, Bolton did very well,

  31. �.... �....

    Да караул как хорошо, до слез !

  32. A.... C....

    I like is Michael Bolton and the guy who with him he good

  33. d.... ....

    this is like being kicked in the balls. please don't do it anymore

    d.... ....

    Michael Bolton is a cunt.pity he is still drawing breath.

    d.... ....

    Well, I wouldn't go that far, but don't have him singing opera with that voice would be a great start :-)

    d.... ....

    Berdiddyberdisber Baboint -what a horrible comment - who are you??? a nobody that's who you are! Pavarotti has sung with Bolton many times & requested that he sing at his funeral! I sing like an injured cat so I'd be happy to sing at yours

    d.... ....

    Sandy please do love xx

  34. D.... G....

    I get goosebumps every time I hear Michael’s beautiful voice

  35. g.... a....

    Damn that no talent was clown Michael Bolton ( office space quote) nailed it

  36. G.... T....

    Beautiful!

  37. N.... M....

    I love it, it is to touchy

  38. D.... T....

    Let's look at the maestro smile when Michael Bolton sings, his really happy! RIP Maestro!

    D.... T....

    Where is "maestro"??? A poor cracked mosquito sings with nonoperatic singer! Both a true disasters! And this is only business, not a music!

  39. G.... F....

    JUSTE MAGNIFIQUE

  40. T.... P....

    its rare for a contenporary artist to hit those high notes so well and to catch up to opera singers wich in the music world to be the hardest genre to sing

    T.... P....

    True, but also in modern music there are exceptionally good singers. The problem is that there is much rubbish in the modern music nowadays (in studio everyting sounds good but in stage... few of them are the same than in records. But there are many who have a good vocal technique and (in his style) have nothing to envy of opera singers. The opera singers have very different features compared to the modern singers (the good ones), but just different, not better.

    T.... P....

    Albert Lleal, Do not forget Andrea Bocelli, true, only superb cross over artist! Michael is pretty damn good esp not having any training!

  41. i.... ....

    wow. Michael. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
