So Ben Mi Ch'a Bon Tempo

So ben mi ch'a bon tempo,

Al so ma basta mo



So ben ch'e favorito,

Ahimé no'l posso dir,



O s'io potessi dire,

Chi va, chi sta, chi vien.



La ti darà martello

Per farti disperar



So ben mi ch'a bon tempo,

Al so ma basta mo

I know a lucky fellow.

But I can't say who it is.



He seems to be quite a favourite.

But my lips are sealed.



O! If I could only tell you.

Who comes, who goes, who stays.



But if I did,

You would probably despair.



I know a lucky fellow.

But I can't say who it is.
