Chi vuol la zingarella

Available translation(s): ENG ENG GER
Chi vuol la zingarella
Graziosa accorta e bella?
Signori, eccola qua.
Signori, eccola qua.
Le donne sul balcone
So bene indovinar.
I giovani al cantone
So meglio stuzzicar.
A vecchi innamorati
Scaldar fo le cervella.

Who desires the fair gypsy‑maiden?
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Who desires the fair gypsy-maiden,
graceful, shrewd, and pretty?
Behold her, gentlemen.
I can easily discern
the whims of genteel ladies,
and I am especially gifted
at teasing young men
in the street.
Of old men in love, well,
I cause their hearts to burn up!
