Hanno ammazzato il Mario [English translation]

They murdered Mario while he was on a bike

They shooted at him from the tram that heads for Ortica

He was on a uphill but he was pedaling in a fast

Then they hit him and he got tired

They hit him accurately on the brain

but he had been able to do some other pedaling yet

then he fell off as a calf

when they gave him the last hit

Since he was a young boy he used to ride on a bike

for the " Amatori B Gallaratese"

with a Maino stolen with dexterity

from a bike runner of the " Pedal Monzese".

I've never seen it neither on a circus

someone who could do a theft so fast

He used to jump on the rider

So he could sit on the bike and the rider would fall off on the ground

They killed Mario while he was on a bike

in a night with an orange sky

He was heading to Lina who was waiting for him

but she met a dude in front of the doorway

He was the superintendent who had sweared it

for his mistake he doesn't have the upgrade

he tagged after his girlfriend

to catch him during the date

"STOP! If you move you are dead

put your face in front of the wall, kneel down!"

Mario seemed to be resigned

but he moved so a loudly shot outburst

It was the bang of a Breda bomb

who killed the unaware guy

then with a leap he is already on his prey

the girl bike of a kid

They murdered Mario while he was on a bike

They shooted at him from the tram that heads for Ortica

He was on a uphill but he was pedaling in a fast

Then they hit him and he got tired

They hit him accurately on the brain

but he had been able to do some other pedaling yet

then he fell off as a calf

when they gave him the last hit
