FINCH’HAN DAL VINO (CHAMPAGNE ARIA)
|
Finch’han dal vino Calda la testa Una gran festa Fa preparar. Se trovi in piazza Qualche ragazza, Teco ancor quella Cerca menar. Teco ancor quella Cerca menar. Senza alcun ordine La danza sia; Chi’l minuetto, Chi la follia, Chi l’alemanna Farai ballar. Ed io frattanto Dall’altro canto Con questa e quella Vo’ amoreggiar. Ah! la mia lista Doman mattina D’una decina Devi aumentar! |
Go throw a party, Lively and hearty, Till all their heads are Heated with wine. If you shouold meet a Girl in the street, ar- range that she comes so She can be mine. See that she comes so She can be mine. Leave it disorganized When they are dancing; Some minuetting, Others just prancing, Some allemanding, All in a line. As for yours truly, I will be duly Flirting with all girls Who will be kissed. And in the morning, When day is dawning, You will be adding Ten to my list! |
