  *++Lyrics:|\\
Viva il vino spumeggiante\\
Nel bicchiere scintillante,\\
Come il riso dell'amante\\
Mite infonde il giubilo!\\
Viva il vino ch'è sincero\\
Che ci allieta ogni pensiero,\\
E che annega l'umor nero,\\
Nell'ebbrezza tenera.\\
\\
++
    *Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci, 1890
  *++Lyrics:|\\
See the wine, as foaming whitely\\
In the glass it sparkles lightly,\\
Like a lover smiling brightly,\\
Gently whisp'ring words that bless!\\
See the honest cup so cheery!\\
It refreshes us when weary!\\
Drives away all humors dreary!\\
Gives ecstatic happiness!\\
\\

    *trans. Willard G. Day,  c1890
