Let’s read together: Old King Cole<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Old King Cole
\nwas a merry old soul,
\nAnd a merry old soul was he;
\nHe called for his pipe,
\nand he called for his bowl,
\nAnd he called for his fiddlers three.
\nEvery fiddler he had a fiddle,
\nAnd a very fine fiddle had he;
\nOh there’s none so rare,
\nas can compare,
\nWith King Cole
\nand his fiddlers three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Italian translation<\/em><\/p>\n

Il Vecchio Re Cole
\nera un vecchio uomo allegro.
\nE un allegro uomo vecchio era lui;
\nChiese la sua pipa
\ne chiese la sua coppa.
\nE chiese i suoi tre violinisti.
\nOgni violinista aveva un violino.
\nE un violino molto pregiato aveva.
\nOh non c’\u00e8 niente di cos\u00ec eccezionale,
\nche tu possa mettere a confronto
\ncon il Vecchio Re Cole
\ne i suoi tre violinisti.<\/p>\n

1)
\nGood King Cole,
\nAnd he call’d for his Bowle,
\nAnd he call’d for Fidler’s three;
\nAnd there was Fiddle, Fiddle,
\nAnd twice Fiddle, Fiddle,
\nFor ‘twas my Lady’s Birth-day,
\nTherefore we keep Holy-day
\nAnd come to be merry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)
\nOld King Cole was a merry old soul
\nAnd a merry old soul was he;
\nHe called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl
\nI guess we all know about Old King Cole<\/p>\n
