No corè, puti, smaniosi tanto Drio quel incanto Che Nana g'ha Xe tuto amabile Ve acordo, in ela, La xe una stela Cascada qua Ma... ma... La Nana cocola G'ha el cuor tigrà. L'ocio xe vivo Color del cielo, Oro el cavelo Balsamo el fià; Ghe sponta in viso Do' rose intate. Invidia al late Quel sen ghe fa Ma... ma... La Nana cocola G'ha el cuor tigrà. Ogni ochiadina Che la ve daga, Da qualche piaga Voda no va! Col so' granelo De furbaria La cortesia Missiar la sa... Ma... ma... La Nana cocola G'ha el cuor tigrà.

Do not run, young [men], So eager[ly] After that enchantment That Nana has. All are amiable, I concede, [with] her, There is a star Fallen there, But… but… the cuddly Nana Has the heart of [a] tiger. Her eye is [the] deep Color of the sky Gold [her] hair, Balsam [her] breath; There appear [on her] face Two intact roses. That skin makes [Pure] milk envious. But… but… the cuddly Nana Has the heart of [a] tiger. Every wink That she gives, Of some plague [Venom] comes! With her grain Of cunning Kindness She knows how to measure... But… but… the cuddly Nana Has the heart of [a] tiger.
