La Spagnola
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG SPA
Di Spagna sono la bella, 
regina son dell'amor! 
Tutti mi dicono stella, 
stella di vivo splendor... 

Stretti, stretti nell'estasi d'amor! 
La spagnola sa amar così, 
bocca a bocca la notte e il dì. 

Amo con tutto l'ardore 
a chi è sincero con me... 
Degli anni miei il vigore 
gli fo ben presto veder! 

Stretti, stretti... 

Sguardi che mandan saette, 
movenze di voluttà! 
Le labbra son tumidette, 
fo il paradiso toccar! 

Stretti, stretti...
