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.
