Verdi

Everything in the world is a jest.
The man is born as a jester,
His faith is trembling in his heart,
As well as the reason.
We always fool ourselves!
We fool each other.
But who laughs at the final joke
is the one who laughs better.

Tutto nel mondo é burla. L'uom é nato burlone, la fede in cor gli ciurla, gli ciurla la ragione. Tutti gabbati! Irride l'un l'altro ogni mortal. Ma ride ben chi ride la risata final.
