Fausto Coppi
var et fantastisk menneske
befandt sig bedst alene
Når han kørte i bjergene
kunne ingen følge ham, han
var et fantstisk menneske
Sagde tidligt farvel,
fausto coppi
fausto coppi.
Fausto coppi
was a fantastic human being
most at ease when alone
Invincible
in the mountains, he
was a fantastic human being
Took leave of this world prematurely
fausto coppi
fausto coppi.
