Nu vaso piccerillo
Comm'a chesta vucchella.
Che pare na rusella
Nu poco pocorillo
Appassuliatella...
Si tu tiena 'a vucchella
Nu poco pocorillo
Appassuliatella...

To a Dainty One
Yes, like a little flower
If you hold the dainty person
The slightest bit,
It fades.
Well then, give it to me,
It is like the rose.
Give me a little kiss.
Give it to me, Cannetella!
Give it to me or I will take it,
The weeping kiss
Like this dainty person,
It seems like a rose
The slightest bit faded.
Yes, if you hold the dainty person
The slightest bit,
It fades.
