Lyrics of Creola - Gigliola Cinquetti

Creola (original)

Che bei fior carnosi
son le donne dell’Havana
hanno il sangue torrido,
come l’Ecuador.
Fiori voluttuosi
come coca boliviana
chi di voi s’inebria
ci ripete ognor:
Creola
dalla bruna aureola
per piet?
sorridimi
che l’amor m’assal.
Straziami
ma di baci saziami
mi tormenta l’anima
uno strano mal.
La lussuria passa
come un vento turbinante
che gli odor pi?
perfidi
reca ognor con s?
ed i cuori squassa
quella raffica fragrante
e inginocchia gli uomini
sempre ai nostri pi?.
Creola
dalla bruna aureola
per piet?
sorridimi
che l’amor m’assal.
Straziami
ma di baci saziami
mi tormenta l’anima
uno strano mal

(translation)

What beautiful fleshy flowers
they are the women of Havana
they have torrid blood,
like Ecuador.
Voluptuous flowers
like Bolivian coca
who among you is inebriated
he repeats to us every time:
Creole
from the dark halo
for pity?
smile at me
that love assaulted me.
Tear me apart
but satisfy me with kisses
my soul torments me
a strange ache.
Lust passes
like a whirling wind
which smells the most?
treacherous
carries each with s?
and hearts shake
that fragrant burst
and kneel men
always to our pi ?.
Creole
from the dark halo
for pity?
smile at me
that love assaulted me.
Tear me apart
but satisfy me with kisses
my soul torments me
a strange ache
