Marina [English translation]

Marina, Marina, Marina,

I know that it is good to be loved.

But do not go, but do not go, do not go

running towards kisses

without being sure that he loves you, that he loves you,

that he loves you as much as you love him.

Oh no no no no no no.

If love calls you, my little one, invites you,

do not answer right away.

Oh no no no no no no.

Love is not always what you think (Marina)

and when your heart is very impatient, (Marina)

you know very well where it begins, (Marina)

but you forget how it can end.

Marina, Marina, little one,

listen to the voice of your heart

but do not go, do not go too fast

running towards happiness.

Do not go too fast, too fast, too fast

in stripping petals off the daisy.

Oh no no no no no no.

Be tender and coquettish—flirty, teasing—

but never lose your head.

Oh no no no no no no.

Marina, (Marina)

Marina, (Marina)

Marina (Marina).
