In what language is he singing?

[streetfighterchallen]

Man, this pagliaccio guy must make a HORRIBLE clown. "Make them laugh?" Yeah, how about working on your depression issues before you put on the costume & the greasepaint?

[webacion]

Laugh, clown,

at your broken love!

Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!

[Just respsonding to the comment asking for lyrics]

Cheers :)

[No pun intended.]

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? You are a clown! Put on your costume, powder your face. The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh. And if harlequin shall steal your Columbina, laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer! Turn your distress and tears into jest, your pain and sobbing into a funny face - Ah!

[webacion]

Recitar! Mentre preso dal delirio, non so più quel che dico, e quel che faccio! Eppur è d'uopo, sforzati! Bah! Sei tu forse un uom? Tu se' Pagliaccio! Vesti la giubba, e la faccia infarina. La gente paga, e rider vuole qua. E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina, ridi, Pagliaccio, e ognun applaudirà! Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto in una smorfia il singhiozzo e 'l dolor, Ah! Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!
