Voleu che que' dò oceti
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Voleu che que' dò oceti
I sbrisega d'amore?
Doneghe 'sti fioreti
E gavarì'l sò cor!
Voleu che un bel basetto
Ve daga 'il vostro ben?
Doneghe 'sto fioreto
Metighelo nel sen.
In mezo de 'sti fiori
Natura mostra el viso
Le grazie e'l Paradiso
Nel mio giardin gh'è s'è!

Would you like those two sweet eyes
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
Would you like those two sweet eyes
to melt with love for you?
Bring them this little bunch of flowers
and you'll open her heart!
Do you want your lover
to give you a big kiss?
Insert the flowers
into her bosom!" --
-- "Through these two flowers
Nature shows her face and her graces;
Within my garden
Paradise now flourishes!"
Translator's note: a dialogue between a florist and a passer-by.
