Udite, Udite Oh! Rustici
Gaetano Donizetti
Listen, Listen Oh! Rustics
Listen, listen, oh! Rustics
Be careful, don't breathe
I already suppose and imagine
That like me you know
That I am that great doctor
Encyclopedic doctor
Called Dulcamara
Whose illustrious virtue
And infinite wonders
Are known to the universe
And, and, and in other places
Benefactor of men
Repairer of evils
In a few days I clear out
I sweep the hospitals
And sell health
I go all over the world
Buy it, buy it
I'll give it to you for a little
Buy it, buy it
I'll give it to you for a little
Buy it, buy it
I'll give it to you for a little
This is the odontalgic
Marvelous liquid
For mice and bedbugs
Powerful destroyer
Whose certificates
Authentic, stamped
Touch, see and read
I will make everyone do
For this my specific
Sympathetic, prolific
A seventy-year-old man
And valetudinarian
Grandfather of ten children
He even became
Of ten or twenty children
He became a grandfather
For this 'Touch and Heal'
In a short week
More than one afflicted widow
Stopped crying
Oh you rigid matrons
Do you want to rejuvenate?
Your uncomfortable wrinkles
With it erased
Do you want, maidens
To have very smooth skin?
You, young gallants
To forever have lovers?
Buy my specific
I'll give it to you for a little
I'll give it to you for a little
I'll give it to you for a little
Good, young men
Good, widows
Buy my specific
I'll give it to you for a little
It moves the paralytics
Sends the apoplectics
The asthmatics, the asphyxiated
The hysterics, the diabetics
Heals the eardrums
And scrofula and rickets
And even liver pain
Which became fashionable
Marvelous for bedbugs
Marvelous for the liver
Heals the paralytics
Sends the apoplectics
Buy my specific
You widows and maidens
You young gallants
I'll give it to you for a little
Come on, widows
Come on, dolls
Buy my specific
I'll give it to you for a little
Yes, yes, I'll give it to you for a little
Yes, yes, I'll give it to you for a little
Yes, yes, I'll give it to you for a little
I brought it by mail
From a thousand miles away
You'll ask me: How much does it cost?
What is the bottle worth?
One hundred scudi? No! Thirty? No!
Twenty? No one be dismayed
To prove my contentment
For such a friendly reception
I want to give you, good people
A scudo as a gift
A scudo really?
One cannot give a better man
Cannot give
Cannot give
Here it is: So wonderful
So balsamic elixir
All Europe knows that I sell
Nothing less than nine lire
But as it is clear
That I was born in the country
I ask three lire for it
I only ask three lire from you
Negrito, music!
So clear as the sun
That to anyone who wants it
A beautiful and clear scudo
I make it enter the pocket
A beautiful and clear scudo
In the pocket
In the pocket I make it enter
In the pocket I make it enter
It is true: Offer it
It is true: Offer it
Here, three lire!
What a great doctor you are!
What a great doctor you are!
Come on, come on
We have been remembering
Your arrival for a long time
Remembering for a long time
We have been remembering your arrival
For a long time. Yes
Ah! The warm affection of the homeland
Can do great miracles
Ah! The warm affection of the homeland
Can do great miracles
We have been remembering your arrival
Remembering arrival
Great miracles can do
