by Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749 - 1838)

Non siate ritrosi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Non siate ritrosi,  
occhietti vezzosi:
due lampi amorosi
vibrate un po' qua.
Felici rendeteci,
amate con noi,
e noi felicissime
faremo anche voi.
Guardate, toccate,
il tutto osservate:
siam forti e ben fatti,
e, come ognun vede,
sia merito o caso,
abbiamo bel piede,
bell'occhio, bel naso;
e questi mustacchi
chiamare si possono
trionfi degli uomini,
pennacchi d'amor.
