Lyrics

Tu n’as que seize ans et faut voir comme
Tu affoles déjà tous les hommes!
Est-ce ton oeil si doux
Qui les mine?
Ou bien les rondeurs de ta poitrine
Qui les rend fous?
O Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Écoute l’amour t’appelle Tchi-tchi
Pourquoi dire non maintenant? Ah… ah…
Faut profiter quand il est temps: Ah… ah…
Plus tard quand tu seras vieille, Tchi-tchi
Tu diras, baissant l’oreille, Tchi-tchi
Si j’avais su dans ce temps-là… Ah… ah…
O ma belle Catalinetta
Malgré les jolis mots, les invites,
Tu remets à demain, tu hésites…
Ça c’est, en vérité,
Ridicule!
Dis-toi bien, au fond, que tu recules
Pour mieux sauter!
O Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Écoute l’amour t’appelle Tchi-tchi
Pourquoi dire non maintenant? Ah… ah…
Faut profiter quand il est temps: Ah… ah…
Plus tard quand tu seras vieille, Tchi-tchi
Tu diras, baissant l’oreille, Tchi-tchi
Si j’avais su dans ce temps-là… Ah… ah…
O ma belle Catalinetta
Pourquoi donc te montrer si rebelle?
L’amour c’est une chose éternelle!
Demande-le, crois-moi,
A ta mère;
Elle l’a chanté avec ton père,
Bien avant toi!
O Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Écoute l’amour t’appelle Tchi-tchi
Pourquoi dire non maintenant? Ah… ah…
Faut profiter quand il est temps: Ah… ah…
Plus tard quand tu seras vieille, Tchi-tchi
Tu diras, baissant l’oreille, Tchi-tchi
Si j’avais su dans ce temps-là… Ah… ah…
O ma belle Catalinetta
(Merci à Luigi pour cettes paroles)

Lyrics translation

You're only sixteen and you have to see how
You're already freaking out all the men!
Is your eye so sweet
Who mines them?
Or the roundness of your chest
Who drives them crazy?
Or Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now? Ah ... ah…
Must enjoy when it's time: Ah ... ah…
Later when you're old, Tchi-tchi
You will say, lowering your ear, Tchi-tchi
If I had known at that time ... Ah ... ah…
O my beautiful Catalinetta
Despite the pretty words, the prompts,
You'll see tomorrow, you hesitate…
That is, in truth,
Ridiculous!
Tell yourself, deep down, that you stand back
To jump better!
Or Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now? Ah ... ah…
Must enjoy when it's time: Ah ... ah…
Later when you're old, Tchi-tchi
You will say, lowering your ear, Tchi-tchi
If I had known at that time ... Ah ... ah…
O my beautiful Catalinetta
Why are you being so rebellious?
Love is an eternal thing!
Ask, believe me,
To your mother;
She sang it with your father.,
Long before you!
Or Catalinetta bella! Tchi-tchi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now? Ah ... ah…
Must enjoy when it's time: Ah ... ah…
Later when you're old, Tchi-tchi
You will say, lowering your ear, Tchi-tchi
If I had known at that time ... Ah ... ah…
O my beautiful Catalinetta
