Il ballo del qua qua [English translation]

This is the qua qua dance

and of a gander who knows

only how to do the qua qua qua,

(and) more qua qua qua.

Mother goose and daddy

with the hands do qua qua

and a feather is already flying

here and there.

Bend the knees a little

then wag the tail like this,

clap your hands loudly

and do qua qua.

With a jump go further there,

with the wings come back here.

What a great novelty,

(is) the qua qua qua!

Take arm-to-arm

happiness.

Just have courage.

All aboard,

with the qua qua qua.

Dance the qua qua dance

like a gander who knows

only how to do qua qua qua,

(and) more qua qua qua.

Come on, everybody here with me,

arm-to-arm, three by three.

Watch out, there will be

a great qua qua.

If you're in front of me

I'll dance it with you

and if a kiss will fly,

what bad does it do!

But the one who won't do the gander,

what an embarrassment he will be!

He will certainly look like

a dried codfish (fool).

Take arm-to-arm

happiness.

Just have courage.

All aboard,

with the qua qua qua.

This is the qua qua dance

and of a gander who knows

only how to do the qua qua qua,

(and) more qua qua qua.

With the wings go further there,

with a jump come back here,

do the move that suits you,

but do qua qua.

This is the qua qua dance

which goes on and it's not known

if one fine day it will end

doing qua qua.

The whole world by now knows

that this is the fashion.

Clap your hands loudly

and do qua qua.

Take arm-to-arm

happiness.

Just have courage.

All aboard,

with the qua qua qua.

This is the qua qua dance

and of a gander who knows

only how to do the qua qua qua,

(and) more qua qua qua.

Mother goose and daddy

with the hands do qua qua

and a feather is already flying

here and there.

Bend the knees a little

then wag the tail like this,

clap your hands loudly

and do qua qua.

With a jump go further there,

with the wings come back here.

What a great novelty,

(is) the qua qua qua!
