Lo spazzacamin! Son d'aspetto brutto e nero, Tingo ognun che mi vien presso; Sono d'abiti mal messo, Sempre scalzo intorno io vo. Ah! di me chi sia più lieto Sulla terra dir non so. Spazzacamin! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin Vi salva dal fuoco per pochi quattrin. Ah! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin! Io mi levo innanzi al sole E di tutta la cittade Col mio grido empio le strade E nemico alcun non ho. Ah, di me chi sia più lieto Sulla terra dir non so. Spazzacamin! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin Vi salva dal fuoco per pochi quattrin. Ah! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin! Talor m'alzo sovra i tetti, Talor vado per le sale; Col mio nome i fanciuletti Timorosi e quieti io fo. Ah, di me chi sia più lieto Sulla terra dir non so. Spazzacamin! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin Vi salva dal fuoco per pochi quattrin. Ah! Signori, signore, lo spazzacamin!

Трубочист! Я есть воплощение ужаса и черноты, Я пачкаю каждого, кто упирается в меня; Я одет в ветхую одежду, Всегда босиком вокруг хожу. Ах! Кто счастливее меня На земле - не могу сказать. Трубочист! Дамы и господа, трубочист Избавит вас от огня всего за несколько грошей. Ах! Дамы и господа, трубочист! Я встаю до солнца И по всему городу С моим криком запоняются улицы, И никаких врагов у меня нет. Ах! Кто счастливее меня На земле - не могу сказать. Трубочист! Дамы и господа, трубочист Избавит вас от огня за несколько грошей. Ах! Дамы и господа, трубочист! Иногда я поднимаюсь на крыши; Иногда иду через комнаты; Своим именем детишек Пугливей и тише делаю. Ах! Кто счастливее меня На земле - не могу сказать. Трубочист! Дамы и господа, трубочист Избавит вас от огня за несколько грошей. Ах! Дамы и господа, трубочист!
