Original lyrics
Se vuol ballare, Signor Contino
Se vuol ballare, Signor Contino,
se vuol ballare, Signor Contino,
il chitarrino le suonerò,
il chitarrino le suonerò, sì,
le suonerò, sì,
le suonerò.
Saprò, saprò, saprò, saprò, saprò,
ma piano, piano, piano, piano, piano,
Se vuol venire nella mia scuola,
la capriola le insegnerò, sì,
se vuol venire nella mia scuola
la capriola le insegnerò, sì,
le insegnerò, sì,
le insegnerò.

Translation
If you want to dance, little Count
If you want to dance, little Count,
if you want to dance, little Count,
I'll play the tune for you on my little guitar,
I'll play the guitar for you, yes,
I'll play it, yes,
I'll play it.
I'll know how; I'll know how, I'll know how
but slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly,.
If you want to come to my dancing school,
I'll teach you the capriole, for sure,
if you want to come to my dancing school,
I'll teach you the capriole, for sure,
teach it, yes,
teach it.
