Tchi-tchi [English translation]

You're only sixteen years old and just have to see how...

You're already bedevil all the men!

Is it your sweet eye

Who's undermining them?

Or the roundness of your chest

That drives them crazy

O Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi

Listen, love calls you Tchi-tchi...

Why say no now? Ah... ah...

You have to enjoy when it's time: Ah... ah...

Later when you'll be old, Tchi-tchi...

You say, putting your ear down, Tchi-tchi...

If I had known back then... Ah... ah...

O my beautiful Catalinetta

Why do you show yourself so rebellious?

Love is an eternal thing!

Ask for it, believe me,

To your mother;

She sang it with your father,

Long before you!

O Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi

Listen, love calls you Tchi-tchi...

Why say no now? Ah... ah...

You have to enjoy when it's time: Ah... ah...

Later when you'll be old, Tchi-tchi...

You say, putting your ear down, Tchi-tchi...

If I had known back then... Ah... ah...

O my beautiful Catalinetta

Later when you'll be old, Tchi-tchi...

You say, putting your ear down, Tchi-tchi...

If I had known back then... Ah... ah...

O my beautiful Catalinetta
