Bella Manina

Here's Nonna doing an Italian nursery rhyme for Luca and Lucia. It goes:

Bella Manina
dove sei stata?
Dalla nonnina
Cose ti ha dato?
Pan' e' formaggio
Cos' hai bevuto?
L'aqua del mare
Sputa la fuori che ti fa male!

It means:
Cute little hand
where have you been?
I've been to Nonna's
What did she give you?
Bread and cheese
What did you drink?
Sea water
Spit it out for it will make you sick!

Those wacky Italians!
