La Calunnia

The Slander

La Calunnia

Slander is a breezeLa calunnia è un venticello
A very gentle breezeUn'auretta assai gentile
How insensitive, subtleChe insensibile, sottile
Lightly, gentlyLeggermente, dolcemente
It beginsIncomincia
It starts to whisperIncomincia a sussurrar

Very quietlyPiano, piano
Earth, earthTerra, terra
Under your breathSottovoce
HissingSibilando
It's flowing, it's flowingVa scorrendo, va scorrendo
It's buzzing, it's buzzingVa ronzando, va ronzando
In people's earsNelle orecchie della gente
It is introducedS'introduce
It is introduced dexterouslyS'introduce destramente
And the heads and the brainsE le teste ed i cervelli
And the heads and the brainsE le teste ed i cervelli
It makes you dizzy, it makes you dizzyFa stordire, fa stordire
It makes you dizzy and makes you swellFa stordire e fa gonfiar

From the mouth out coming outDalla bocca fuori uscendo
The noise is growingLo schiamazzo va crescendo
It gains strength little by littlePrende forza a poco a poco
It already flies from place to placeVola già di loco in loco
It sounds like thunder, the stormSembra il tuono, la tempesta
That in the heart of the forestChe nel sen della foresta
He goes whistling, grumblingVa fischiando, brontolando
And it makes you freeze with horrorE ti fa d'orror gelar
In the end it overflows and explodesAlla fin trabocca e scoppia
It spreads, it doublesSi propaga, si raddoppia
And it produces an explosionE produce un'esplosione

Like a cannon shotCome un colpo di cannone
Like a cannon shotCome un colpo di cannone
An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
What makes the air reverberateChe fa l'aria rimbombar

An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
An earthquake, a stormUn tremuoto, un temporale
What makes the air reverberateChe fa l'aria rimbombar

And the wretched slanderedE il meschino calunniato
Debased, trampled uponAvvilito, calpestato
Under public scourgeSotto il pubblico flagello
By great luck he's going to diePer gran sorte va a crepar
