Italian.png Italian text

A quand' a quand' havea una vicina
Ch'er' a vedere la stella Diana.
Tu tu la vedevi.
Tu tu li parlavi.
Beato te se la basciavi tu.

Che veramente pare una regina
Ch'ogni uno ne faria inamorare.
Tu tu la vedevi ...

Mo mi credeva stare stare contento
Et trovomi le mani pien di vento.
Tu tu la vedevi ...

Once, once, I had a neighbor
Who looked like the star Diana.
You saw her.
You talked to her.
Blessed are you if you kissed her.

Truly she seemed a queen
That made everyone fall in love.
You saw her ...

At the moment I believed I was content
I found myself empty handed.
You saw her ...
