So, you little Italian devils,
You want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you.
If you want to make a woman happy,
You rely on what you were born with.
Because it is in your blood

Be Italian,
be Italian.
Take a chance and try to steal a fiery kiss.

Be Italian,
Be Italian.
When you hold me,
Don't just hold me but hold this!

Please be gentle,
Sentimental
Go ahead and try to give my cheek a pat,

But be daring
And uncaring.
When you pinch me,
Try to pinch me where there's fat.

Be a singer, be a lover.
Pick the flower now
Before the chance is past.

Be Italian,
Be Italian
Live today
As if it may become your last.

Be a singer, be a lover.
Pick the flower now
Before the chance is past.

Be Italian,
Be Italian
Live today
As if it may become your last.
