Il farmacista [English translation]

It could work! 1

Love powder, green tea, two bags

And you won't say you don't feel like it anymore

Dimethisterone, then vials of Norgestrel

To shut ourselves in a room tonight

They're all solutions au naturel

My love, you'll see they won't hurt you

I've created them for you, but in the name of the science

For that tendency to rigidity of yours

Trifluoperazine, stramonium and Pindolol

A touch of Secobarbital

Administer it before a logorrheic solo

And even this urge to talk will go away

There's no side effect

My love, I'll tell you how it's going to be like

Without that heavy conference buzz of yours

That breaks my soul

I've got the solution

It could work!

For a tormenting agony

Weak spot or trouble

And any other imperfection

For all of these I'll invent, rest assured,

A bio-chemical potion

But what is it?

It's that miracle I've never seen

In anyone else, except you after the cure

And don't worry, this time will be the right one

And soon you'll thank me

Walnuts, saffron, lavender, passion flower

Then we'll mix in some guaraná too

Pour slowly the essence on vegetables

Against shopping, it's the best

And for your too many mood swings

Bach flower and I'll add some vitamin E

But with some red clover

I'll be able to make your stress disappear too!

I've got the solution

It could work!

For the eavesdropping blabbermouth

Vanity, guilty conscience

Or any other imperfection

For all of these I'll invent, rest assured,

A bio-chemical potion

But what is it?

It's that miracle I've never seen

In anyone else, except you after the cure

And don't worry, this time will be the right one

And soon you'll thank me

But now wait, my dear, there's a problem

This shirt is tying me down a bit

They forcefully put it on my back 2

Don't ask me why, what would I know?

But what is it?

It's that miracle I've never seen

In anyone else, except you after the cure

And don't worry, this time will be the right one

And soon you'll thank me

I've got the solution

It could work!

For a tormenting agony

Weak spot or trouble

And any other imperfection

For all of these I'll invent, rest assured,

A bio-chemical potion

But what is it?

It's that miracle I've never seen

In anyone else, except you after the cure

And don't worry, this time will be the right one

And soon you'll thank me
