    The foot prompt, the eye laughing
Audacious, intrepid I go among the people
The veil that moves the net is one of love
And hearts are bound at my train
Gentlemen! Clear the way!
Give way to Pina,
The Little Lady;
Here she is!

A tender gaze, a sweet accent,
Charm lovers by the hundreds
I can give fervent kisses,
I can lead a quick polka;
I stole more than one handsome youth
From some rich and noble woman!
Gentlemen! Clear the way!
Give way to Pina,
The Little Lady;
Here she is!

I am romantic according to my mood
The foot prompt, the eye laughing
Audacious, intrepid I go among the people
Gentlemen! Clear the way!
Give way to Pina,
The Little Lady;
Here she is!
