[Verse 1]
Act! While in delirium
I no longer know what I say
Or what I do!
And yet it's necessary... make an effort!
Bah! Are you not a man?

[Pre-Chorus]
Naked and alone, before the cadaver

[Chorus]
Ridi, Pagliaccio
Sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!

[Verse 2]
Put on your costume
And powder your face
The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh
And Death shall seal your regret
Laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer!

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A pane of glass shattered, yet finally clear
[Chorus]
Ridi, Pagliaccio
Sul tuo amore infranto!
Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!

[Instrumental Outro]
