L'avertimento
Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GRE SPA
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.

L’avertissment
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian - Venetian (dialect) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ne cours si vite, 
Galant que tente 
La belle et gente qu’on voit ici.
Certes j’accorde 
Qu’au ciel sans voile 
Même l’étoile ne vaut ceci.
Mais...
Mais… La Belle que voilà te meurtrira.

Sa bouche est fraîche,
Aux fleurs pareille;
Niche l’abeille
En ses cheveux;
Au sein d’ivoire
Fleurit la rose;
Le ciel respose
En ses doux yeux.
Mais… 
Mais… La Belle que voilà te meurtrira.

Ces yeux célestes,
S’ils nous regardent,
Soudain poignardent
Nos pauvres coeurs!
Dans son manège
Elle marie
La fourberie
A la douceur.
Mais…
Mais… La Belle que voilà te meurtrira.

From a Hahn score, Paris: Heugel & Cie, 1901.
