  Son fortuna omnipotente
  Son regina al' universo,
  Se a me piace sia sumerso
  Chi non crede al mio talento

  Son fortuna omnipotente
  Son regina al' universo,

  Pero creder el ti bisogna
  Esser ben sempre a cavallo
  E lassar l'altrui rogna
  Per exempio longo e fallo
  Se tu prendi questo ballo
  Setai grato a nostra gente.

I am omnipotent fortune
I am queen of the universe.
If it pleases me, let anyone be submerged
Who does not believe in my powers.

I am omnipotent fortune
I am queen of the universe

But you must believe.
Always be on horseback
And leave the trouble of others.
For example long and foul.
If you take this dance
You will be appreciated by our people.
