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.

No corran, chicas, tan maniáticas Tras los encantos De la hermosa Nana. Es todo amabilidad En ella, te lo garantizo; Ella es una estrella Que se pone aquí, Pero... pero... la Nana hermosa Tiene el corazón de un tigre! Su ojo está vivo Color del cielo; De oro el cabello Y un bálsamo el aliento; Despunta en su rostro Dos rosas intactas, Envidia la leche La piel que tiene Pero... pero... la Nana hermosa Tiene el corazón de un tigre! Cada mirada Que te dispara, De cualquier desgracia Veneno va! Con su granujería De picarona La cortesía Medirla sabe... Pero... pero... la Nana hermosa Tiene el corazón de un tigre.
