I always thought la was something of a cop-out, frankly. "A note to follow so." Gimme a break.

Prolagus commented on the word fah
Do, se do qualcosa a te
Re è il re che c'era un dì
Mi è "mi" per dire "a me"
Fa la nota dopo il mi
Sol è il sole in fronte a me
La se proprio non è qua
Si e non ti dico no
E così ritorno al Do.
Italian version, where the crappy line is fa.

Haha! I think I may prefer the Italian version!

This, apparently, is the translation – according to my Systran Language Technologies Widget. All together now, boys and girls:
I give, if I give something you
King is the king who was of
Me is in order to ago say "to me"�?
the famous one "to me"�? after me
Sol is the sun in forehead to me
If just she is not here
and not I say you not
and so return to Do.

A human-based translation (the words that sound like the note in Italian are in brackets):
Do, if I give something to you
Re is the king who lived once upon a time
Mi is the "mi" which means "to me"
Fa the note after mi
Sol is the sun in front of me
La if it's not here at all(*)
Si and I don't tell you "no"(**)
And this is how we get back to Do.
*Là means "there"
**Sì means "yes"
