Largo Al Factotum

Make way for the factotum of the city.
Quick to the shop, as dawn has already broken.
Ah, what a beautiful life, what a beautiful pleasure
for a barber of quality!

Ah, bravo Figaro!
Bravo, very good!
Truly fortunate!
Ready to do everything,
night and day
always around and about.
A better life for a barber,
a more noble life, no, there isn't.
Razors and combs,
clocks and scissors,
under my command
everything is here.
There is also the resource,
then, of the trade
with the ladies... with the gentlemen...
Everyone asks me, everyone wants me,
women, boys, old men, young girls:
Here's the wig... Quickly the beard...
Here's the leech...
Quickly the ticket...
Here's the wig, quickly the beard,
Quickly the ticket, hey!

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, etc.
Alas, what fury!
Alas, what a crowd!
One at a time, for pity's sake!
Hey, Figaro! I'm here.
Figaro here, Figaro there,
Figaro up, Figaro down,

Ready, very ready, I'm like lightning:
I am the factotum of the city.
Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, very good;
fortune will not fail you.
