[Col:] Sometime you may say no!
Sometime you may say yes!
Or whispering low,
with your cheeks all aglow,
you leave a poor man to guess!
So patient must he grow,
and when the years elapse
the future will show
that although she says no!
A woman may mean perhaps.

Marianna, Marianna,
I'm yearning, and burning,
to make you my own,
you shall be mine, mine alone,
so close by I'll hold you,
my arms shall enfold you,
[Mar.] you'll find that
will never be so
I implore you,
Oh! please let me go!

Marianna, Marianna,
I'm yearning, and burning,
to make you my own,
you shall be mine, mine alone,
so close by I'll hold you,
my arms shall enfold you,
[Mar.] And so with our hearts
beating fast
we shall find love at last!
