Lyrics

LyricsPoetic Translation
Sempre mi ride sta donna da bene Always this lady laughs, laughs at me always
Quando passeggio per mezzo sta via When we in any street pass by each other.
La riderella, la pazzarella non vi ca ride, That flirting ninny, that little nitwit can't help but giggle,
ha ha ha! ridemo tutti per darli piacere. Ha ha ha! We all should laugh now; let's laugh just to please her.
Adrian WillaertCarol Anne Perry Lagemann
