Hanno Ammazzato Il Mario Lyrics in English Ornella Vanoni
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hanno Ammazzato Il Mario by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Hanno ammazzato il Mario in bicicletta
They killed Mario on a bicycle
Gli hanno sparato dal tram che va all'Ortica
They shot him from the tram going to Ortica
Era in salita ma pedalava in fretta
He was uphill but pedaling quickly
Poi l'han beccato e andava con fatica
Then they caught him and he struggled
L'hanno beccato preciso sul cervello
They got him right on the brain
Ma ha fatto ancora qualche pedalata
But he did a few more rides
Poi è crollato come fa il vitello
Then he collapsed like a calf does
Quando gli danno l'ultima mazzata
When they give him the last blow
Fin da ragazzo correva in bicicletta
Since he was a boy he has been cycling
Per l''Amatori B Gallaratese'
For the 'Amati B Gallaratese'
Con una Maino rubata con destrezza
With a Maino stolen with skill
A un corridore della 'Pedal Monzese'
To a runner of the 'Pedal Monzese'
Non l'ho mai visto neppure al circo in pista
I've never seen him even at the circus on the track
Un tipo che facesse il furto al volo
A guy who would steal on the fly
Faceva il salto a pesce sul ciclista
He was doing the jump on the cyclist
Lui era in sella e l'altro steso al suolo
He was in the saddle and the other was lying on the ground
Hanno ammazzato il Mario in bicicletta
They killed Mario on a bicycle
In una sera che il cielo era arancione
On an evening when the sky was orange
Lui stava andando da Lina che l'aspetta
He was going to Lina who is waiting for her
E ha trovato un tale sul portone
And he found a guy in the doorway
Era il questore che gliel'avea giurata
You were the police commissioner who had sworn it to him
Per colpa sua non ha l'avanzamento
It's his fault he doesn't get the advancement
Ha pedinato la sua fidanzata
He stalked his girlfriend
E l'ha beccato sull'appuntamento
And he caught him on the date
'Alt! Se ti muovi tu sei bell'e spacciato
'Stop! If you move you're done for
La faccia al muro, mettiti in ginocchio!'
Face the wall, get on your knees!'
Il Mario sembra davvero rassegnato
Mario seems really resigned
Ma fa una mossa e parte un grande scoppio
But he makes a move and a big explosion goes off
Era lo scoppio di una bomba Breda
It was the explosion of a Breda bomb
Che ha fatto fuori l'ignaro questurino
Who killed the unsuspecting policeman
Poi con un salto è già sulla sua preda
Then with one leap he is already on his prey
La bicicletta da donna d'un bambino
A child's women's bicycle
Hanno ammazzato il Mario in bicicletta
They killed Mario on a bicycle
Gli hanno sparato dal tram che va all'Ortica
They shot him from the tram going to Ortica
Era in salita ma pedalava in fretta
He was uphill but pedaling quickly
Poi l'han beccato e andava con fatica
Then they caught him and he struggled
L'hanno beccato preciso sul cervello
They got him right on the brain
Ma ha fatto ancora qualche pedalata
But he did a few more rides
Poi è crollato come fa il vitello
Then he collapsed like a calf does
Quando gli danno l'ultima mazzata
When they give him the last blow
