So you little Italian devils,
You want to know about love?
Saraghina will tell you.

If you want to make a woman happy,
you rely on what you were 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!

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.

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!
