from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Da brava, Catina
Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER SPA
Da brava Catina, 
mostréve bonina,
Mostréve pietosa, 
cortese con mi.

Un baso dimando, 
nol xè un contrabando,
no xè una gran cosa, 
diséme de sì.

Basè pur Sior Pare,
Basè Siora Mare,		
E al vostro Zaneto		
Un baso neghi?		
E al vostro Zaneto		
Un baso neghi?		

Da brava Catina,
Mostréve bonina,	
Cavème sta vogia,	
Diséme de sì.
Cavème sta vogia,	
Diséme de sì.
