Act! While in delirium I no longer know what I say Or what I do! And yet it's necessary, make an effort! Bah! Are you not a man?
Naked and alone, before the cadaver
Ridi, Pagliaccio Sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!
Put on your costume And powder your face The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh And if Harlequin shall steal your Columbina Laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer!
Pane of glass shattered, yet finally clear
Ridi, Pagliaccio Sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!
