  madamina, il catalogo e' questo
  delle belle che amo' il padron mio;
  un catalogo egli e' che ho fatt'io;
  osservate, leggete con me.
  in italia seicento e quaranta;
  in almagna duecento e trentuna;
  cento in francia, in turchia novantuna;
  ma in ispagna son gia' mille e tre.
  v'han fra queste contadine,
  cameriere, cittadine,
  v'han contesse, baronesse,
  marchesine, principesse.
  e v'han donne d'ogni grado,
  d'ogni forma, d'ogni eta'.
  nella bionda egli ha l'usanza
  di lodar la gentilezza,
  nella bruna la costanza,
  nella bianca la dolcezza.
  vuol d'inverno la grassotta,
  vuol d'estate la magrotta;
  e' la grande maestosa,
  la piccina e ognor vezzosa,
  delle vecchie fa conquista
  pel piacer di porle in lista;
  sua passion predominante
  e' la giovin principiante.
  non si picca- se sia ricca
  se sia brutta, se sia bella;
  purche' porti la gonella,
  voi sapete quel che fa.

  my lady, this is the list
  of the beauties that my master has loved;
  a list that i made myself;
  look here (and) read with me.
  in italy sixhundred and forty;
  in germany twohundred and thirtyone;
  onehundred in france, in turkey ninetyone;
  but in spain there are already a thousand and one.
  there are among these peasant girls,
  servants, townspeople,
  there are countesses, baronesses,
  marquesses, princesses.
  and there are women of every class,
  of every shape, of every age.
  with the blondes he usually
  praises their manners,
  with the brunettes their faithfulness,
  with the gray-haired ones their sweetness.
  in the winter he wants the heavy ones,
  in the summer he wants the slim ones;
  the big ones are majestic,
  the little ones are charming,
  he goes after the old ones
  for the pleasure of putting them on the list;
  his overiding passion
  are the young beginners (adolescents).
  he doesn't care if a woman is rich
  if she's ugly, if she's pretty;
  as long as she has a skirt on,
  you know what he does.
