Sto crescenno no bello cardillo
quanta cose che l'aggia 'mparà!
Adda ire da chisto e da chillo
lli mmasciate po' m'adda purtà.
Siente ccà, bello mio, lloco nnante
''è na casa, na nenna, e sta
tu la vide ca non è distante
chella nenna aje da ire a truvà!
Si la truove ca stace dormenno
pe na fata, gué, nun la piglià!
No rommore non fa co li penne
gué, cardì, tu l'avisse scetà?
Si affacciata po' sta a lo barcone
pe na rosa l'avisse piglià?
Gué, cardì, vi ca llà nun te stuone
va vattenne, cardì n'addurà!
Si la truove che face l'ammore
sto cortiello annascunnete ccà,
'nficcancillo deritto a lo core
e lo sango tu m'aie da purtà!
Ma si pensa: vatté chiano, chiano
zitto, zitto te e aje d'azzeccà
si afferrare te vo co la mano
priesto mpietto tu l'aje da zompà.
Here's a translation I found on the Web :
I'm breeding a nice goldfinch (thistle finch)
what a lot of things I need to teach him !!
He must go to one and to the other one
and after it must bring me messages.
Listen to me, my dear, not so far from here
there is a house,a girl lives there
you can see it, it's not far
you must go and see that girl.
If you find her sleeping
don't mistake her for a fairy
Don't make noise with your plumes (wings)
otherwise,oh goldfinch, you could wake her up.
If she's standing at the balcony
don't mistake her for a rose
Oh goldfinch, come here since there you're out of tone
go, go away goldfinch, don't go on staying there.
If you find her making love
hide here this knife
stick it straight into her heart
and bring me her blood
But if she's thinking, go away very slowly,
as quiet as a mouse, don't interpose,
if she want catch you with her hand
you must spring quickly in her bosom.
Cheers to all folk players!
