Giovanottino che passi per via
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Giovanottino che passi per via, Non chi passar, chè non canto perte, non canto perte. Canto per l'amor mio, ch'è andato via Ch'è mille volte più bello di te, più bello di te. E l'è più bello e l'è più colorito, più colorito... L'è sceso in terra, e nato in paradiso, in paradiso.

Ei, blonder Jüngling, was himmelst du mich an?
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Ei, blonder Jüngling, was himmelst du mich an? Bleib schön daheim, gilt mein lied doch nicht dir! Nein, nein, gilt nicht dir! Sing so nur für mein Schätzchen, das grad gegangen, Und das viel tausendmal schöner wie du! Ja, ja tausendmal! Darfst mir schon glauben, daß er wirklich schöner, ja, ja, viel schöner! Glattweg vom Himmel flog er in meine Arme! Ja, ja, vom Himmel!
