Tre Somari e Tre Briganti
Domenico Modugno
Three Donkeys and Three Bandits
We are left in three
Three donkeys and three bandits
On the long, long road
From Girgenti
But if tonight
We meet the coach
One jumps on the driver
One grabs the door
Two keep watch outside
One robs the passengers
And we go away
But if we are three
Three, three donkeys and three bandits
Just three
A a a ai ai ai ai ai
We are always three
Three bandits and three guns
On the road from Girgenti to Monreale
But there is the castle
Of the Marquis of Mondello
One goes through the gate
One jumps from the bastion
One kills the servants
Two take the treasures
And we go away
We are always three
Three donkeys and three bandits
Just three
a ai ai ai ai ai
We are always three
Three bandits and three donkeys
On the road from Girgenti to Misilmeri
But if you propose
To ambush the rogues
One turns the outpost
The other attacks the opposite front
One brandishes the trombone
The other jumps on the cannon
...
We are always three
Three donkeys and three bandits
One two and three
A ai ai ai ai ai
