JANIE
Oh my god, where have you been, Janie my dear sister?
Oh my god, where have you been, little girl sweet-honey?
O, I went to an enchanted lake, William
O, I went to the thick forest of the hill
O, I went to green mountains
O, I went to the reign of dead people in war
O; I went to the reign of poisonous serpents
O, I went to the reign of men without noun
But I’m very tired now, I’m going to drink the magical potion
Because I’m going to sleep forever.
Oh my God, what did you see, Janie my dear sister?
Oh my God, and what did you see, little girl sweet-honey?
O, I saw a grandiose man playing foul with a black seal
O, I saw a beautiful unicorn with white wings that flew into God
O, I saw the luminous day confused itself with a dark night.
O, I saw a sun beam smiling ironically to a full moon
O, I saw the English people killing the Scottish barbarians.
O, I saw a juggler that sang words of hate against women just lost.
But I’m very tired now, I’m going to drink the magical potion because I’m going to sleep forever.
Oh my God, who did you meet, Janie my dear sister?
Oh my God, who did you meet, little girl sweet-honey?
O, I met the seven dwarfs with Snow-white, she died in her own bed and surrounded with wonderful flowers.
O, I met a mad disguised as a clown that played with two umbrellas of blue blood.
O, I met an angel with candid suit and with a crown of martyrdom.
O, I met a pretty woman that looked like a little butterfly in the thick forest.
O, I met a Dragon, God of the enchanted lake, enraged with his soldiers of fortune, they were swept from snow-storm.
O, I met the happiest people in the world.
O, I met our poor dead parents.
But I’m very tired now, I’m going to drink the magical potion because I’m going to sleep forever.
Oh my God, I fear that you want to die, Janie my dear sister
Oh my God, I fear that you want to die, little girl sweet-honey?
O yes, I want to reach our parents.
O yes, I want to reach the angels of Heaven
O yes, I want to reach our friends dead in the war
O yes, I want to reach my bosom-friend: Cardine
O yes, I want to reach the high reign of the clouds
O yes, I want to reach the best poets of all Greece
But I’m very tired now, I’m going to drink the magical potion because I’m going to sleep forever.
Oh my God, what d’ye leave to your poor people, Janie my dear sister?
Oh my God, what d’ye leave to your poor people, little girl sweet-honey?
O, I’ll leave my castles and my home.
O, I’ll leave my wide empire
O, I’ll leave my wide possessions
O, I’ll leave my precious vases and metals
Oh my God, what d’ye leave to your poor brother, Janie my dear sister?
Oh my God, what d’ye leave to your poor brother, little girl sweet-honey?
O, I’ll leave him all misfortune of this life
O, I’ll leave him all tortures
O, I’ll leave him the eternal unhappiness
O, I’ll leave him timorous infernal flames
O, I’ll leave him the torments of hell
O, I’ll leave him the sentiment of agony and sadness.
Because you killed our poor parents.
But I’m very tired now, I’m going to drink the magical potion because I’m going to sleep forever.
