Tchaikovsky(From Lady In The Dark) - Danny Kaye

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!

Senza la minima scusa

O la minima provocazione

Posso presentarti con affetto

Per la tua delizia mentale

I nomi che mi danno sempre una commozione cerebrale

I nomi di quei compositori noti come russi

Ci sono Malichevsky, Rubinstein, Arensky e Tschaikowsky

Sapelnikoff, Dimitrieff, Tscherepnin, Kryjanowsky

Godowsky, Arteiboucheff, Moniuszko, Akimenko

Solovieff, Prokofieff, Tiomkin, Korestchenko

Ci sono Glinka, Winkler, Bortniansky, Rebikoff, Ilyinsky

Ci sono Medtner, Balakireff, Zolotareff e Kvoschinsky

E Sokoloff e Kopyloff, Dukelsky e Klenowsky

E Shostakovich, Borodine, Glière e Nowakofski

Ci sono Liadoff e Karganoff, Markievitch, Pantschenko

Devo davvero smetterla, l'argomento è stato discusso abbastanza!

È meglio che smetta perché sentiamo di aver subito abbastanza!
