Non diran tutte di no.
Sin che trovo una pietosa,
che non sia meco ritrosa
cento donne io pregherò.
Non diran tutte di no.
Sin che trovo un bel sembiante,
che m'accetti per amante
mille belle adorerò.
Non diran tutte di no.

Not all the ladies will say no.
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Not all the ladies will say no.
I shall ask one hundred ladies,
until I find one who will be merciful,
who will not be reluctant to love me.
Not all of them will say no.
I shall adore one thousand beauties
until I find a pretty face
which shall accept me as a lover.
Not all of them will say no.
