Original text and translations

Italian text

Stizzoso, mio stizzoso,

Voi fate il borioso,

Ma nò, ma non vi può giovare;

Bisogna al mio divieto

star cheto, cheto,

E non parlare,

Zitt!… Zitt!…

Serpina vuol così.

Zitt!… Zitt!…

Serpina vuol così.

Cred’io che m’intendete, si,

che m’intendete, si,

Dacchè mi conoscete

son molti e molti dì.
