L'Omo e la Scimmia
L'Omo disse a la Scimmia:
— Sei brutta, dispettosa:
ma come sei ridicola!
ma quanto sei curiosa!
Quann'io te vedo, rido:
rido nun se sa quanto!...
La Scimmia disse: — Sfido!
T'arissomijo tanto!
The Man and the Monkey
The Man says to Monkey:
- You're ugly, nasty:
but how ridiculous you are!
but how curious you are!
When I see you, I laugh:
You don't know how much!
The Monkey says: - I defy you!
I look so much like you!
