English Lyrics:

Make way for the factotum of the city,

Hurrying to his shop for it's already dawn.

Ah, what a fine life, what fine pleasure

For a barber of quality!


Ah, bravo Figaro!

Bravo, bravissimo!

Most fortunate indeed!


Ready to do everything

Night and day,

Always on the move.

A cushier fate for a barber,

A more noble life, is not to be had.



Razors and combs,

Lancets and scissors,

At my command

Everything's there.

Here are the tools

Of my trade

With the ladies...with the gentlemen...


Everyone asks for me, everyone wants me,

Ladies, young lads, old men, young girls:

Here is the wig... The beard is ready...

Here are the leeches...

The note is ready...

Here is the wig, the beard is ready,

The note is ready, hey!

Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!, etc.

Dear me, what frenzy!

Dear me, what a crowd!

One at a time, for pity's sake!

Hey, Figaro! I'm here.

Figaro here, Figaro there,

Figaro up, Figaro down.


Swifter and swifter, I'm like a thunderbolt:

I'm the factotum of the city.

Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, bravissimo,

You'll never lack for luck!
