translation
Go on stage, I'm nearly delirious?
I don't what I'm saying or what I'm doing!
And yet, up! I'll try harder. bah, you think you're a man?
just a clown! on with the show, man,
And put on white-face.
The pay you and you must make them laugh.
And if should steal your columbine, laugh,
You're pagliaccio, and the will clap for you!
into banter all your pain and sorrow,
And with your face hide grief and distress...
Laugh loud, pagliaccio, all of your troubles,
Laugh off the pain so empoisons your heart.
