Quei oci me fa guera

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Quei oci me fa guera
e me ferisse ognora.
Ma più, cara,
mi inamora,
quel vostro bel visin.
                                           
Insoma me piasé
no so se lo sapiè
che abia tuto in sconquasso
sto gramo coresin.

Those eyes they strike

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Those eyes they strike 
and  wound me  every time.
But more  than that,  darling,
they make me fall in love                                                           
with your beautiful little face.

Well, I really like you
but don't know if you realise  
that my poor heart
is totally distraught.
