J.W. Waterhouse: The awakening of Adonis
So you little Italian devils, you want to know about love
Saraghina will tell you. If you want to make a woman happy, you lie on what you’re 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
HA!
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!
Hey!
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!
