Reginella

You put on a skirt so colorful
a hat with a red ribbon
you were wearing three or four hundred scents
and speaking French like that
it was yesterday that I met you
it was yesterday, my lady, yes

I wanted to love you
you wanted to love me
but now we don't love each other anymore
but sometimes
you think of me absentmindedly

little queen, when you were with me
you didn't eat anything but bread and cherries
we lived on wine, and more wine
you sang and cried for me
and the goldfinch sang with you
little queen, I love this king

I wanted to love you
you wanted to love me
but now we don't love each other anymore
but sometimes
you talk to me absentmindedly

oh goldfinch, who are you waiting for tonight?
I won't open the door to anyone
little queen, he wanted you and you wanted him
wanting to sing, not cry
you found a sincere lady
who is more worthy of hearing you sing

I wanted to love you
you wanted to love me
but now we don't love each other anymore
but sometimes
you absentmindedly call me
