Nell'acqua della chiara fontana
In the water of the clear fountain
Lei tutta nuda si bagnava
She was all naked getting wet
Quando un soffio di tramontana
When a breath of tramontana
Le sue vesti in cielo portava
His robes in heaven bore
Dal folto dei capelli mi chiese
From the thick of my hair he asked me
Per rivestirla di cercare
To coat her to seek
I rami di cento mimose
The branches of a hundred mimosas
E ramo con ramo intrecciare
And branch with branch weave
Volli coprire le sue spalle
I wanted to cover his shoulders
Tutte di petali di rosa
All of rose petals
Ma il suo seno era così minuto
But her breasts were so minute
Che fu sufficiente una rosa
That was enough a rose
Cercai ancora nella vigna
I was still looking in the vineyard
Perché a metà non fosse spoglia
So that it wasn't half bare
Ma i suoi fianchi erano minuti
But his hips were minute
Che fu sufficiente una rosa
That was enough a rose
Le braccia lei mi tese allora
Her arms held out to me then
Per ringraziarmi un po' stupita
To thank me a little surprised
Io la presi con tanto ardore
I took it with such ardor
Che lei fu di nuovo svestita
That she was undressed again
Il gioco divertì la graziosa
The game enjoyed the graceful
Che molto spesso alla fontana
That very often at the fountain
Tornò a bagnarsi pregando dio
He came back to get wet praying to God
Per un soffio di tramontana
For a breath of tramontana
