Dotti, medici e sapienti [English translation]

And in the name of progress

be the debate open,

everybody will make a speech,

scholars, doctors and wise men.

All around the bedside

of a seriously ill patient,

in fact someone already said

that the patient is almost dead.

He’s so young, it’s a pity

that he's reduced to this,

therefore, give the floor

to the rector of the school.

I am very grateful to everyone

for having been consulted.

For me this case is glaring:

this person is just a charlatan!

Sorry, not to contradict

my colleague, the professor,

but this person is a misfit:

who must immediately be interned!

At the congress there are many,

scholars, doctors and wise men,

to talk, judge,

assess and provide,

and to find remedies

for the young man in question.

This young man is ill,

I’m the one who knows how to cure him:

he has already infected too many,

he must be isolated.

I am sure and have evidence:

this is a very serious case.

So radical treatment is needed

before it ends badly!

Sorry to disagree,

for me this case is elementary:

the boy is immature

he hasn't served in the military!

At the congress there are many,

scholars, doctors and wise men,

to talk, judge,

assess and provide,

and to find remedies

for the young man in question.

Let me say a word, I have never been to school

and, between important people, I who am worth nothing

perhaps I should not even speak;

but after what you’ve said, I can no longer stay silent

and so before you can catch me

I must scream and shout, I must warn him,

to get up and run away even if he feels bad,

if he wants to save himself, he must run away now!

Come on, run away! Run away! Run away!

Get him!

Run away!

Cops!

Get him!

Cops!

Run away!
