Italian text
O occhi, manza mia, cigli dorati!
O faccia d'una luna stralucente!
Tienimi a mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'un poc'a me, fa mi contento.
O bocca come zuccaro, impanato.
O canna che specchiare, fai la gente.
Tiene mi mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'n poc'a me, fa mi contento.
O cuore, manza mia, perfido cuore.
Tu sei la gioia mia, lo mio amore!
Tiene mi mente, gioia mia bella,
Guardam'n poc'a me, fa mi contento.
English translation
Oh those eyes my lover** (errata "heifer* of mine"), those golden eyelashes!
Oh resplendent as the face of the moon!
Keep me in mind, my fair delight,
Cast your eyes on me, do please me.
(* Such heartfelt kind of appreciation, comparing the beloved one to the most prized elements of rural life, was quite frequent in those days!) (** The translation "Heifer" is wrong. In ancient italian "manza" = "amanza" = "amata" = engl. "lover")
