Chi vuol comprar la bella calandrina,
Che canta da mattino in fino a sera?
Chi vuol comprar la, venga a contratto!
Sempre a buon patto la venderò.
La bella calandrina! Chi vuol comprar la?
È sì gentil, ha così dolce il canto,
E vender la degg’io che l’amo tanto;
Ma questo è il mio mestiere,
No’l fo per piacere! Venga! venga!
Sempre a buon patto la venderò.
La bella calandrina! Chi vuol comprar la?
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Who will buy this lovely lark
which sings the livelong day?
Who will buy it? Come and do a deal!
I will sell on good terms.
This lovely lark! Who will buy it?
See how charming it is; its song is so sweet,
And I who love it so much must sell it;
But that is my trade,
I do not do it for pleasure! Come, come!
I will sell on good terms.
This lovely lark! Who will buy it?
