Siciliana (O Lola, bianca come fior di spino), Turiddu's aria from 
	Cavalleria Rusticana


O Lola, bianca come fior di spino,
Quando t'affacci te s'affaccia il sole;
Chi t'ha baciato il labbro porporino
Grazia più bella a Dio chieder non vôle
C'è scritto sangue sopra la tua porta;
Ma di restaci a me non me n'inporta;
Se per te mojo e vado in paradiso,
Non c'entro se non vedo il tuo bel viso
Ah!
Libretto entered by Mark D. Lew (added 1999-02-17). Notes: Sicilian dialect
Siciliana, Turiddu's aria from Cavalleria Rusticana

O Lola c'hai di latti la cammisa
Si bianca e russa comu la cirasa,
Quannu t'affaci fai la vucca a risa,
Biatu pi lu primu cu ti vasa!
Ntra la puorta tua lu sangu è spasu,
Ma nun me mpuorta si ce muoru accisu-
E si ce muoru e vaju'n paradisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
