Da brava, Catina

Language: Italian

Da brava Catina, 
mostréve bonina,
Mostréve pietosa, 
cortese con mi.

Un baso dimando, 
nol xè un contrabando,
no xè una gran cosa, 
diséme de sì.

A little Venetian song

Language: English

 Go on Catina,
 show me some kindness,
 show me some pity;
 be gentle with me.
 
 I beg for a kiss,
 it needs no concealment;
 it's not much to ask,
 so say that you will.
