Italian text
- 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?
