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.

Μην τρέχετε, νέοι Με τόση ανυπομονησία Πίσω απ’ αυτή την χάρη Που έχει η Νανά. Όλα είναι αξιολάτρευτα Το δέχομαι, σ’ αυτήν Είναι ένα αστέρι Που έχει πέσει εδώ κάτω Μα… μα… η γλυκιά Νανά Έχει καρδιά σαν τίγρη. Το μάτι της είναι ζωηρό Έχει το χρώμα τ’ ουρανού Τα μαλλιά της χρυσαφένια Η ανάσα της μοσχοβολά· Στο πρόσωπό της γεννιούνται Δυο άθικτα τριαντάφυλλα. Το στήθος της Κάνει το γάλα να ζηλεύει Μα.. μα… η γλυκιά Νανά Έχει καρδιά σαν τίγρη. Κάθε ματιά Που εκτοξεύει Δεν μπορεί να μην αφήσει Κάποιο πόνο! Με λίγη πονηριά Ξέρει πάντα να φαίνεται ευγενική… Μα… μα… η γλυκιά Νανά Έχει καρδιά σαν τίγρη.
