Addò 'stu core 'ngrato cchiù dispietto

Some think the world is made for fun and frolic,
And so do I!
Some think it well to be all melancholic,
To pine and sigh;
But I, I love to spend my time in singing,
Some joyous song,
To set the air with music bravely ringing
Is far from wrong!

Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar!
Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar!
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la!
Echoes sound afar! Tra la la la, tra la la la.
