| A KNEE | IL GINOCCHIO |
| | |
| On Earth there roams a lonely knee. | Solingo varca per il mondo in volta |
| It's just a knee, that's all. | un ginocchio, null’altro! |
| It's not a tent, it's not a tree, | Non alber là né tenda s’arca in volta! |
| it's just a knee, that's all. | E’ un ginocchio, null’altro. |
| | |
| In battle, long ago, a man | In guerra, un dì, un cristiano in piena regola |
| was riddled through and through. | spacciò una schioppettata. |
| The knee alone escaped unhurt | Il ginocchio soltanto restò incolume, |
| as if it were taboo. | reliquia venerata! |
| | |
| Since then there roams a lonely knee. | Da allor solingo per il mondo varca |
| It's just a knee, that's all. | quel ginocchio, null’altro. |
| It's not a tent, it's not a tree, | non albero, non volta là s’inarca: |
| it's just a knee, that's all. | è un ginocchio, null’altro. |
