La domenica andando alla messa,
compagnata dai miei amatori
mi sorpresero i miei genitori:
monachella mi fecero andar.

Going to Mass on Sunday,
accompanied by my lovers
I was surprised by my parents:
nun they made me go.

Dimmi che m'ami,
sono innocente come il sol
che risplende sul mare;
voglio dare l'addio all'amor.

Tell me you love me,
I am innocent as the sun,
that shines on the sea;
I want to say adieu to love.

Giovanotti piangete, piangete,
m'han tagliato i miei biondi capelli;
tu lo sai ch'eran ricci, eran belli,
giovanotti piangete con me.
Dimmi che m'ami [...]

Young men weep, weep,
they cut my blonde hair;
you know it was curly, it was beautiful,
young men weep with me.
Tell me you love me [...]

Le carrozze son già preparate,
i cavalli son pronti a partire;
dimmi o bella se tu vuoi venire
questa sera a passeggio con me.
Dimmi che m'ami [...]

The carriages are already prepared,
the horses are ready to go;
tell me, you pretty, will you come
this evening for a walk with me.
Tell me you love me [...]
