Our translations: ENG
Siam iti l'altro giorno dal Curato Con un regalo, secondo l'usanza, E là m'apersi, e'n sua presenza ho dato L'anello di fidanza. Egli era all'orto, dove ogni mattina Suol coglier fiori da parar lo altare, Tolse il più bello ed alla mia Biondina Lo volle proprio dare. E come fu del rito il dì fissato, C'incamminammo entrambi sì festosi, Che per la strada tutto il vicinato Dicea: "Viva gli sposi!"

L'autre matin
Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)
L'autre matin notre joie était grande; Nous avons fait au curé notre offrande; Suivant l'usage, Elle a reçu, doux présage, L'anneau qui nous engage! Luim sans mot dire, Avec un sourire Prit une rose, La plume fraîche éclose, Dans le jardin qui pare son église, Pour elle, ma promise! Le jour fixé pour notre mariage, Ivres d'amour, nous vîmes au passage Tout le village Nous fêter d'un cri qu'on devine: Vive, vive ta Blondine!
