HORT AGT-entertain small | AGT-entertain small | POL FUT.ACT.2s dance PROP energy
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the fandango?

I calqued Scaramouche as 'little entertainer' (a name for a stock clown character of the 16th-century commedia dell'arte), and fandango as "lively dance"

Tondo bol an laytm, set nof nof fiya pon mi
Galileyo Galileyo Galileyo Galileyo Galileyo Figaro maynifiko

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico

There's no real good translation for "bolt", so I just made it its proper reflex (losing the "t"). Also, since "magnifico" isn't English, I just took "mayni" from the Sajiwan word for "magnificent" and added the "co".
