Italy Translation please !
Posted: Tue March 18, 2003 03:26 PM UTC
Hi ! I need to have the traduction of an italian song.. words for words..
its (and if its more easy in french, its my first language) oh and many my words are not correct cause I take it from a partition and the words are separate with the beat hehe) :

Le violette

Rugia dose odorose violette graziose
Voivi state vergognose
mezzo a scose frale foglie e sgridate
che son troppo ambiziose

So, its very important for me, thanks for your help !

Rugia dose odorose violette graziose
(People from Rugia smell like violets - thanks be to jaysus)
Voivi state vergognose
(They drive Volvo estates as if they have vertigo)
mezzo a scose frale foglie e sgridate
(In the middle of their fragile noses they keep a small grid)
che son troppo ambiziose
(It helps them keep their sneezes short)

Hi,
I found it for you on Internet. The URL is very long. I'm sorry.
It is a song by Alessandro Scarlatti:

http://www.su.edu/conservatory/opera/Classes/diction/trans/opera/24%20Italian%20Songs/Le%20Violette.pdf

Very difficult to translate and my French is not good enough.

Hope this helps though,
Anna
