Malandrino Songtext
von Gogol Bordello

My birth I can hardly remember
But I remember from the start
My midwives looking at each other
"Wow, this boy is born with singing heart"

All doors for him will now fly open
For everybody loves a nut
It′s true, once they threw me in trenches
Front line amigos sure love that

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart


Those midwives were like politicians
To bickering, they were so proud
One said, "Life is beautiful gift, boy"
Other one said, "Government loan"

I still don't know which one is right girl
And you know I don′t really care
I got to keep my heart a-singing
And for that anything I'll dare
Oh, for that anything, anything I'll dare

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
I was born with singing heart

Cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks
Cracks, cracks, cracks, and make-up sex
Cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks
Cracks, cracks, cracks, and make-up sex


Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino
Truffaldo, Truffaldo, Truffaldino
Malandro, Malandro, Malandrino

I was born with singing heart
I was born with singing heart
I was born with singing heart
I was born with singing

Ha-ha, heart, ha-ha heart
Ha-ha, heart, from the start
Ha-ha, heart, ha-ha heart
Ha-ha, heart, right from the start
