Italian text

Cruda mia tiraniella,
Quando succhio quei tuoi dolci coralli
Tremo, com'un gridasse:
Dalli, dalli!

Dolce mia pazzariella,
Quando stringo quei tuoi bianchi cristalli
Tremo, com'un gridasse:
Dalli, dalli!

O misero scontento,
Che le labbra, le man, l'amico petto
Legan quest'alma afflitta
Stretto stretto!

English translation

My little cruel tyrant,
When I suck those sweet corals of yours (meaning: your lips)
I tremble, like one who cries:
Go on, go on!

My sweet little crazy one,
When I hold those white crystals of yours (meaning: your hands)
I tremble, like one who cries:
Go on, go on!

Oh poor unhappy man,
Whom your hands, your lips, your friendly bosom
Tie the painful soul
So tight, so tight!
