Leave it to Zono to ask something 
awkward straight-out.
زونو هو خبير الأسئلة الصّريحة الغريبة
Zono fragt einfach, was sich

Il a mis les pieds dans le plat direct…
Zono, maestro assoluto 
delle domande imbarazzanti a bruciapelo.
Ninguém melhor do que o Zono para fazer

Зоно просто мастер 
спрашивать всё напрямую.
