Original text with translation
Tino Rossi
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)
You're only sixteen and you have to see how
You are already driving all the men crazy!
Is your eye so sweet
Who mines them?
Or the curves of your chest
Who drives them crazy?
O Catalinetta bella!
Chi-chi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now?
Ah...ah...
Gotta enjoy when it's time: Ah...ah...
Later when you're old, Chi-chi
You will say, lowering your ears, Tchi-tchi
If I had known in those days... Ah... ah...
O my beautiful Catalinetta
Despite the pretty words, the prompts
You procrastinate, you hesitate...
That is, in truth
Ridiculous!
Tell yourself, deep down, that you're backing up
To jump better!
O Catalinetta bella!
Chi-chi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now?
Ah...ah...
Gotta enjoy when it's time: Ah...ah...
Later when you're old, Chi-chi
You will say, lowering your ears, Tchi-tchi
If I had known in those days... Ah... ah...
O my beautiful Catalinetta
So why be so rebellious?
Love is an eternal thing!
Ask it, trust me
To your mother;
She sang it with your father
Long before you!
O Catalinetta bella!
Chi-chi
Listen love calls you Tchi-tchi
Why say no now?
Ah...ah...
Gotta enjoy when it's time: Ah...ah...
Later when you're old, Chi-chi
You will say, lowering your ears, Tchi-tchi
If I had known in those days... Ah... ah...
O my beautiful Catalinetta
