Matona mia cara

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG ENG FIN

Matona mia cara, mi follere canzon
cantar sotto finestra, Lanze bon compagnon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Ti prego m'ascoltare che mi cantar de bon
e mi ti foller bene come greco e capon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Com'andar alle cazze, cazzar con le falcon,
mi ti portar beccazze, grasse come rognon
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Se mi non saper dire tante belle rason
Petrarca mi non saper, ne fonte d'Helicon. 
Don don don diridiridon don don don 

Se ti mi foller bene mi non esser poltron;
mi ficcar tutta notte, urtar come monton
Don don don diridiridon don don don

Note: this is Italian with a fake-German accent.

Rakas tyttö kulta

Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Rakas tyttö kulta,
kuuntele minun lauluani.
Minä laulan sinun ikkunasi alla;
olen sotilas ja kunnollinen peitsimies.
Don, don, don,
diri diri don, don, don.

Pyydän, että kuuntelisit minua,
minähän laulan hienosti,
ja minähän pidän sinusta
yhtä paljon kuin kreikkalaisesta kukkopaistista.

Kun minä menen metsästämään,
metsästän haukalla
ja tuon sinulle lehtokurppia
lihavia lehtokurppia.

Jos en pysty ilmaisemaan 
kaikkea kaunista, mitä tunnen,
se johtuu siitä, etten tunne Petrarcaa
enkä Heliconin lähteitä.

Kai sinä ymmärrät,
etten minä mikään lurjus ole enkä roisto;
minä vain suutelisin sinua koko yön
ja tanssisin riemusta kuin pukki.
