Original lyrics
Giro giro tondo
Giro giro tondo,
gira il mondo,
gira la Terra,
tutti giù per terra!
Giro giro tondo,
il mare è fondo,
tonda è la Terra,
tutti giù per terra!
Giro giro tondo,
l'angelo è biondo,
biondo è il grano,
tutti ci sediamo!
Giro giro tondo,
ora ti circondo
come una ciambella,
tutti giù per terra!
Giro giro tondo,
casca il mondo,
casca la Terra,
tutti giù per terra!
Translation
Ring, ring-around-the-rosy
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
The sea is deep,
The Earth is round:
We all fall down!
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
The angel has blond hairs,
The wheat is yellow:
We all sit down!
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
Now I surround you
As a doughnut:
We all fall down!
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
The world falls down,
The Earth falls down,
We all fall down!
