Zikipaki, zikipu


Ziki-Paki era nata fra gli indù,
era figlia del gran capo di laggiù.
Bella bajadera, piccola e leggera,
somigliava al padre Ziki-Pu.

Ma un bel giorno, non so proprio come fu,
Ziki-Paki s'è trovata a tu per tu
con un tipo strano, era un italiano:
Ziki-Paki non ci vide più.
Disse: 'Tu, proprio tu,
o mi baci oppur lo dico a Ziki-Pu?.

Ah, Ziki-Paki o Ziki-Pu,
l'italiano non ci stette a pensar su.
Se la prese per la mano,
la condusse più lontano
sotto un albero, laggiù:
'Dimmi il tuo nome, o bella indù?.
?Ziki-Paki sono e non scordarlo più!?.
E per meglio ricordar,
tosto lui si mise a far
?Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!?.
L'italiano spesso si recò laggiù
a trovar la bella figlia dell'indù.
Ma l'ardore passa, lei divenne grassa,
Ziki-Paki lui non vide più.
Ma in sua vece un giorno venne un grosso indù
con un bel marmocchio di color caucciù.
?Questo signorino esser tuo bambino.
Presto, fila e non tornare più!?.
E il caucciù, come fu,
somigliava tutto al nonno Ziki-Pu.

Ah, Ziki-Paki o Ziki-Pu,
l'italiano non ci stette a pensar su.
Se lo prese piano piano,
lo portò lontan lontano
al paese suo laggiù.
Appena giunto, disse:?Orsù,
dopo tutto è un italiano che c'è in più?.
E a chi stava a domandar
rispondeva: ?Fu per far
Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu!?.

Meglio un bimbo mezzo indiano
che passar la vita invano
senza eredi su per giù.
E, se la moda di lassù,
la nazione a popolar non pensa più
si può sempre ricordar
la canzone che sul far
?Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Paki, Ziki-Pu?!
