Yello - Otto Di Catania - For Victorianna - From Flag LP -w/ translation

[Translation below Italiana]

Cari spettatori
Amici del variete
Calorissimo pubblico
Buona sera qui al Stella Matto

Nella prima parte del programma
Venuta direttamente dal Cairo
La famosissima Lolita del Sudan
Una danzatrice del ventre
Accompagnato come sempre
Dalla nostra orchestra Paolo Silvestri
Prego Maestro: a Lei!

Sono Otto, sono Otto di Catania!
Sono arrivato a Roma 20 anni fa
Sono qui per vivere
Per vivere la mia vita
Per mangiare, per rosso bicchiere di vino

Per tutti questi giorni
Voglio invitare tutti amici mei
Per celebrare la mia vita

Amici grazie, grazie per venire
Grazie per andare con me
Alla caffe Romana

La via Veneto era molto speciale
Con Marcello, con Luciano
Con Verena la Sirena
Grazie per venire
E il mio nome e Otto di Catania:
Sono arrivato 20 anni fa!

translation by the Goog-borg:
Dear viewers
Friends of the variety
Very warm audience
Good evening here at Stella Matto

In the first part of the program
Came directly from Cairo
The very famous Lolita of Sudan
A belly dancer
Accompanied as always
From our orchestra Paolo Silvestri
Please Master: to you!

I'm Otto, I'm Otto from Catania!
I arrived in Rome 20 years ago
I'm here to live
To live my life
For eating, for red glass of wine

For all these days
I want to invite all my friends
To celebrate my life

Friends, thank you, thank you for coming
Thanks for going with me
At the Romana café

The Via Veneto was very special
With Marcello, with Luciano
With Verena the Mermaid
Thanks for coming
And my name is Otto from Catania:
I arrived 20 years ago!

----------------------
One of my many favorite Yello songs - likely Chico Hablas on the Spanish guitar (yup - below is the lineup courtesy wiki)*
He was a real asset in their earlier recordings - Carlos Peron was on board for the first couple LPs too, producing and playing synthesisers.

['Otto Di Catania' is track #7]
