ROCK THE CASBAHROCK THE CASBAH
  
Now the king told the boogie manIl re disse all'uomo del boogie
You have to let that raga dropDi lasciar perder la musica indiana
The oil down the desertwayIl petrolio scorreva a fiumi giù per il deserto
Has been shakin' to the topEra stato agitato dalla cima
The sheik he drove his CadillacLo sceicco guidava la sua Cadillac
He went a cruisin' down the villeAndò a fare un giro in città
The muezzin was a standingIl muezzin era in piedi
On the radiator grilleSulla griglia del radiatore
  
The shareef don't like itAllo sceriffo non piace
Rockin' the casbah rock the casbahChe si suoni il rock della casbah
The shareef don't like itAllo sceriffo non piace
Rockin' the casbah rock the casbahIl rock della casbah
  
By order of the prophetPer ordine del profeta
We ban that boogie soundVietiamo il boogie-woogie
Degenerate the faithfulContamina i fedeli
Whit that crazy casbah soundCol folle sound della casbah
But the beduin they brought outMa i beduini tirano fuori
The electric cameldrumUn tamburo elettrico di cammello
The local guitar pickerEd il chitarrista locale
Got his guitar picking thumbSfodera il pollicione per pizzicare le corde
As soon as the shareef had cleared the squareE appena lo sceriffo sgombra la piazza
They began to wailCominciano tutti a far casino
  
Nowover at the temple - oh!Intanto al tempio
They really pack 'em inStanno avendo un grosso successo
They in-crowd says it's coolIl folto pubblico dice
To dig this chanting thingE' figo ascoltare queste nenie
But as the chanting directionMa appena il vento cambia direzione
And the temple band took fiveE la banda del tempio si riposa 5 minuti
The crowd took a wiffIl pubblico si fà uno sniffo
Of that crazy casbah jiveDel folle ritmo della casbah
  
The king called up his jet fightersIl re richiamò i suoi piloti da caccia
He said you better earn your payDisse : " è meglio che vi guadagnate il pane
Drop your bombs between minaretsSganciate le bombe sui minareti
Down the casbah waySulle strade della casbah "
  
As soon as the shareefAppena lo sceriffo
Was chauffeured outta thereSi allontanò col suo autista
The jet pilots tuned toI piloti sintonizzarono la radio di bordo
The cockpit radio blareSul gran baccano della casbah
As soon as the shareef wasNon appena lo sceriffo
Outta their hairFini di scocciarli
The jet pilots wailedI piloti si misero a far casino
  
The shareef don't like itAllo sceriffo non piace
Rockin' the casbah rock the casbahChe si suoni il rock della casbah
  
He thinks it's not kosherPensa che non sia ortodosso
Fundamentally he can't take itIn pratica non lo sopporta
You know he really hates it.Insomma lo odia.
