Gogol Bordello - Malandrino Lyrics






My birth I can hardly remember
But I remember from the start
My midwives looking at each other
"Wow, this boy is born with singing heart"

All doors for him will now fly open
For everybody loves a nut
It's true once they threw me in trenches
Front line amigos sure love that

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

Those midwives were like politicians
To bickering they were so proud
One said, "Life is beautiful gift, boy"
Other one said, "Government loan"

I still don't know which one is right girl
And you know I don't really care
I got to keep my heart a-singing
And for that anything I'll dare

Oh, for that anything, anything I'll dare

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

kreks feks peks
kreks feks peks
kreks feks peks
And make-up sex

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

  1. P.... S....

    Pretty sure the line is "to bickering they were so prone" not proud...
    "To bickering they were so prone, one said life is beautiful gift boy, other one said government loan"

  2. H.... R....

    Rolon!!

  3. S.... ....

    he is a wonderlust king searching for the rules of life. why would he ever stop absorbing other cultures and evolving along the way? to expect all his music to stay in the same style makes no sense. try to see the experience of gogol bordello from the outside, with a singing heart

  4. C.... ....

    TRUFFALDINO

  5. D.... Z....

    The chorus are two words for trickster, mischievous, and dishonest. very interesting to such a happy song to sing about, idk, the mischievous and dishonest parts of them? the English parts of the song don't really mention stealing or tricking, so idk. but its interesting

    D.... Z....

    I think it's to juxtapose how he feels versus how he is perceived.

  6. j.... ....

    Love it! But does sound a bit Mariachi El Bronx, yeh?  :-D

  7. R.... ....

    Hate to tell you, but it's "To bickering they were so PRONE"

    R.... ....

    would did people think
    it was ?

  8. L.... ....

    This song, in particular, stands out as going back to the sparser sound of the earlier albums. The rest of the album strikes me as even less Gogol-y than this song. So it's interesting that you'd pick out this song.

  9. S.... G....

    It's just a new chapter of Gogol Bordello. The insanity is still there, in this song though, it's just a little sparse. Nothing wrong with something a bit different!

  10. F.... ....

    They always have a way with words.

  11. A.... C....

    And make up sex!

  12. P.... �....

    bit too happy and a bit insufficiently psychotic for gogol bordello

  13. f.... a....

    kreks Fex Pecs :D

  14. A.... S....

    крекс фекс пекс :p

  15. j.... a....
