[Leonello:]
Comrades all! come, see the sight,
Hola! Hola! To left and right;
Together they dance a measure wild.
[Chorus:]
Together they dance a measure wild.
[Leonello:]
As they raise their feet so deft,
Hola! Hola! To right and left;
Oh, which of you all is not beguiled?
[Chorus:]
Oh, which of us all is not beguiled?
[Leonello:]
Up and down, Fal-la, la, la, la,
Up and down, Fal-la, la, la, la,
Nimble grace and laughing face
And clouds of lace, Fal-la, la, la, la!
[Chorus:]
Up and down, Fal-la, la, la, la,
Up and down, Fal-la, la, la, la,
Nimble grace and laughing face
And clouds of lace, Fal-la, la, la, la!
[Leonello:]
Brava! Brava! See them wildly dancing,
Eyes merrily glancing,
Gaily around!
Brava! Brava! Salterello sprightly,
Feet tripping it lightly,
Easily skimming the ground.
[Chorus:]
Brava! Brava! See them wildly dancing,
Eyes merrily glancing,
Gaily around!
Brava! Brava! Salterello sprightly,
Feet tripping it lightly,
Easily skimming the ground.
[Leonello:]
Comrades all! come, see the sight,
Hola! Hola! To left and right;
Together they dance a measure wild.
[Chorus:]
Together they dance a measure wild.
[All:]
Merrily trip the girls on nimble feet,
To watch them move is a treat.
Gaily they go, pointing a toe,
Ankle to show, Brava! Brava!
