Conoscete Porfirio Villarosa dalla bocca fascinosa
You know Porfirio Villarosa with his charming mouth
Lo credevano spagnolo o portoghese
They thought he was Spanish or Portuguese
Egli è invece è torinese
He is instead from Turin
Era un rude e modesto terrazziere
He was a rough and modest terrace worker
Sapeva il suo mestiere
He knew his job
Ch'era un piacere
That was a pleasure
Ora invece Porfirio Villarosa
Now Porfirio Villarosa instead
Todo el giorno se reposa
Every day he rests
Ogni diva dello schermo che lo vede
Every screen diva who sees it
Dice 'T'amo' e lui ci crede
She says 'I love you' and he believes it
E così, per salvarsi un po' le spese
And so, to save some expenses
Lui deve divorziare
He has to get a divorce
Tre volte al mese
Three times per month
Olè, olè
Ole, ole
Porfirio Villarosa
Porfirio Villarosa
Che faceva el manoval alla Viscosa
What did the laborer do at Viscose
Col suo sguardo conturbante
With his disturbing look
Egli é l'Oscar degli amanti
He is the Oscar of lovers
Quante donne ha conquistato non se sa
How many women he has conquered he doesn't know
Ed un bel dì Porfirio Villarosa
And one fine day Porfirio Villarosa
Abbandona su due piedi la Viscosa
Leave Viscose immediately
Bello, bello più di Valentino
Beautiful, more beautiful than Valentino
Prediletto dal destino s'é piazzato
Favored by fate he placed himself
Ed or la grana lui ce l'ha, sì
And now he has money, yes
Porfirio, Porfirio alle donne cosa fai?
Porfirio, Porfirio what do you do to women?
Tutte quante tu le inguai
You trouble them all
Come mai, come mai?
How come, how come?
Porfirio, Porfirio, alle dive sai piacer
Porfirio, Porfirio, the divas know how to like it
Qualche cosa devi aver
You must have something
Come fai, come fai?
How do you do it, how do you do it?
Olé, olé
Olé, olé
Porfirio Villarosa
Porfirio Villarosa
È soltanto più un recuerdo la Viscosa
The Viscose is just more of a recovery
Quante volte s'é sposato
How many times has he been married
Tante volte ha divorziato
He has divorced many times
Ed ora fa l'innamorato di Zaza, sì
And now he's Zaza's lover, yes
Ahi, ahi
Ouch, ouch
Porfirio, Porfirio alle donne cosa fai?
Porfirio, Porfirio what do you do to women?
Tutte quante tu le inguai
You trouble them all
Come mai, come mai?
How come, how come?
Porfirio, Porfirio, alle dive sai piacer
Porfirio, Porfirio, the divas know how to like it
Qualche cosa devi aver
You must have something
Come fai, come fai?
How do you do it, how do you do it?
Olé, olé
Olé, olé
Porfirio Villarosa
Porfirio Villarosa
È soltanto più un recuerdo la Viscosa
The Viscose is just more of a recovery
Quante volte s'é sposato

Tante volte ha divorziato
He has divorced many times
Ed ora fa l'innamorato di Zazà
And now he's Zazà's lover
Che cannone quel Porfirio Villarosa
What a cannon that Porfirio Villarosa
Che faceva el manoval alla Viscosa
What did the laborer do at Viscose
Olè
Ole
