Reginella campagnola
Folclore Italiano
Country Queen
At dawn when the sun rises
There in Abruzzo all golden
The buxom country girls
Descend the valleys in bloom
There, there, there, there, there
Oh beautiful country girl
You are the queen
In your eyes there is the sun
There is the color of violets
Of the valleys all in bloom
If you sing, your voice
Is a harmony of peace
That spreads and says
If you want to live happily you must live up here
There, there, there, there, there
When it's the village's feast
With her basket she goes
Trotting the donkey
She heads towards the city
Oh beautiful country girl
You are the queen
In your eyes there is the sun
There is the color of violets
Of the valleys all in bloom
If you sing, your voice
Is a harmony of peace
That spreads and says
If you want to live happily you must live up here
There, there, there, there, there
But then in the evening, at sunset
With her friends she goes
And all intent on telling
What she saw there in the city
Oh beautiful country girl
You are the queen
In your eyes there is the sun
There is the color of violets
Of the valleys all in bloom
If you sing, your voice
Is a harmony of peace
That spreads and says
If you want to live happily you must live up here
There, there, there, there, there
