Ich hab' in Penna einen Liebsten wohnen, In der Maremmenebne einen andern, Einen im schönen Hafen von Ancona, Zum Vierten muß ich nach Viterbo wandern; Ein Andrer wohnt in Casentino dort, Der Nächste lebt mit mir am selben Ort, Und wieder einen hab' ich in Magione, Vier in La Fratta, zehn in Castiglione.

I have a lover living in Penna, Another lives in Maremma, One lives in the beautiful port city of Ancona, To see the fourth, I have to go to Viterbo; Another lives over in Casentino, The next lives with me at my place, And then I have one in Magione, Four in La Fratta, and ten in Castiglione!
