La Follia Della Donna, pt. I [English translation]

Hello, who is it? Ah, hi Roger...no, I'm singing now, come on. No, I can't let you in. I know you, Pink Floyd, you'll steal my idea to make your own records! Now sorry, I've got to go, the record is going, I have to say "shoes", bye. 1

Shoes - shitty women shoes

That cost millions to men

To think that this whole thing was decided by

Faggots

There's a faggot trust

That decided that

Last year red was in

And this year it's blue

Corduroy trousers

At the market used to cost 23€

Today you can find them in the boutiques

Bought by rich women

The faggots decided it

And I must deal with this

Women's madness

The need for shoes

That won't listen to reason

What are millions

When in exchange they give you

Shoes

Have you ever thought about a small tattoo?

Your friend has a small tattoo

Hurry, hurry and get a small tattoo

Suddenly you need a small tattoo

A small tattoo, a small tattoo

And then you don't like it anymore

What are you going to do? Get it removed? You can't.

You get a bigger one

Women's madness

The mental illness

To get ink injections with needles

Shuffling around carelessly

In the most stylish streets, in sabots 2

1. the voice imitates that of a popular Italian singer, Renato Zero. He's speaking at the doorphone with Roger (Waters), bassist and singer of Pink Floyd. Zero refuses to let him in because he doesn't want to be plagiarised, but the song is full of Pink Floyd musical references, as if Roger Waters actually copied Zero's new song.2. sometimes ago sabots used to be trendy, especially among women, but many people consider them to be really tacky. The song ends with a drum break and a guitar starts playing, but then it ends abruptly. This is probably a reference to the fact that many popular Pink Floyd songs are split in various parts (Another brick in the wall, Shine on you crazy diamond, Pigs on the wing, A new machine) which, if listened separately, may cause this effect. This is also why the song is called "Pt. 1", even though there is no part 2.
