L'ussaro, tra la la!
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
L'ussaro, 
tra la la!
Che cos'è il pericolo?
Il suo caro tesoro!
Con un cenno lei dice:
lui è qua, tra la la!

L'ussaro, 
tra la la!
Che cos'è il pericolo?
Il suo vino, presto! Presto!
La sciabola splende! La sciabola beve!
Beve sangue, tra la la!

L'ussaro, 
tra la la!
Che cos'è il pericolo?
Il suo suono preferito,
il suo canto d'amore,
la sua ninnananna, tra la la!
