Praised be the Holy Sacrament
and long live the charm of Mary
Saint Paschal Baylon, protector of women
send us a husband young and wise
may you be like and as good as you, Saint Paschal
may you be like and as good as you, Saint Paschal
If you want to flirt
but look for someone else to touch
because women without breasts
cannot be loved
because women without breasts
cannot be loved
And here and there
four coins for the matchmaker
and a kiss for the girl
and the handkerchief goes in the air
and a kiss for the girl
and the handkerchief goes in the air
The daughter of Bellavia
who had nothing but breasts
even her mother would say
who had nothing but breasts, my daughter Lucia
even her mother would say
who had nothing but breasts, my daughter Lucia
Dance, dance
married and unmarried women
and if you don't dance well
I won't sing and I won't be there
and if you don't dance cleanly
I'll tell your husband
Shh, shh, shh, how many
women are here.
hey little one, where are you going
the frogs don't stay
around here
the frogs don't stay
around here
There's only one singing
the father said
she's a little one
the father said
she's a little one
Dance, dance
honest and married men
and if you don't dance well
and if you don't dance cleanly
I'll tell your girlfriend
and dance like a newborn calf
and you, godfather, with the drum
and dance like a newborn calf
and you, godfather, with the drum
