Traduzione del testo della canzone Tschaikovsky (And Other Russians) - Danny Kaye

Tschaikovsky (And Other Russians) (originale)

Without the least excuse
Or the slightest provocation
May I fondly introduce
For your mental delectation
The names that always give me a concussion
The names of those composers known as Russian
There’s Malichevsky, Rubinstein, Arensky, and Tschaikowsky
Sapelnikoff, Dimitrieff, Tscherepnin, Kryjanowsky
Godowsky, Arteiboucheff, Moniuszko, Akimenko
Solovieff, Prokofieff, Tiomkin, Korestchenko
There’s Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikoff, Ilyinsky
There’s Medtner, Balakireff, Zolotareff, and Kvoschinsky
And Sokoloff and Kopyloff, Dukelsky, and Klenowsky
And Shostakovitsch, Borodine, Glière, and Nowakofski
There’s Liadoff and Karganoff, Markievitch, Pantschenko
And Dargomyzski, Stcherbatcheff, Scriabine, Vassilenko
Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Mussorgsky, and Gretchaninoff
And Glazounoff and Caesar Cui, Kalinikoff, Rachmaninoff
Stravinsky and Gretchnaninoff
Rumshinsky and Rachmaninoff
I really have to stop, the subject has been dwelt upon enough!
He’d better stop because we feel we all have undergone enough!

Devo davvero smetterla, l'argomento è stato discusso abbastanza!
È meglio che smetta perché sentiamo di aver subito abbastanza!
