O begl'occhi di fata, o begl'occhi stranissimi e profondi... Voi m'avete rubata la pace della prima gioventù. Bella signora dai capelli biondi per la mia giovinezza che v'ho data mi darete di più. O sì, voi mi darete dei vostri baci la febbre e l'ardore! Trepidante sarete tra le mie bracie aperte... Tra le mie bracie aperte e sul mio cor. Della mia gioventù prendete il fiore. Del mio giovine sangue l'ardore prendete. Ma datemi l'amor, ma datemi l'amor!

O bellos ojos de hada O bellos ojos extrañísimos y profundos Ustedes me han robado La paz de mi primera juventud. Bella señora de rubios cabellos Por la juventud que te he dado, Me darás tu mas? Ah si!, me darás de tus besos La fiebre y el ardor! Trepidante estarás Entre mis brazos abiertos Entre mis brazos abiertos Y sobre mi corazón De mi juventud toma la flor De mi joven sangre toma el ardor Pero dame el amor Pero dame el amor
