Lyrics
Felicissima sera
a tutte 'sti signure 'ncravattate
e a chesta cummitiva accussi allera
d’uommene scicche e femmene pittate
chesta e' 'na festa 'e ballo
tutte cu 'e fracchisciasse 'sti signure
e' i' ca so' sciso 'a coppa sciaraballo
senza cerca' o permesso abballo i' pure
chi so che ve ne 'mporta
aggio araputa 'a porta
e so' trasuto cca'
musica musicante
fatevi mordo onore
stasera miezo a st’uommene aligante
abballa un contadino zappatore
no signore avvocato
sentite a me nu ve mettite scuorno
io pe' ve fa' signore aggio zappato
e sto' zappanno ancora notte e ghiuorno
e so' duje anne duje
ca nun scrive nu rigo a casa mia
vossignuria se mette scuorno 'e nuje
pur’i mme metto scuorno 'e 'ossignuria
chi so' dillo a 'sta gente
ca i' songo nu parente
ca nun 'o puo' caccia'
musica musicante
ca e' bella ll’alleria
i' mo ve cerco scusa a tuttuquante
si abballo e chiagno dint' 'a casa mia
mamma toja se ne more
o ssaje ca mamma toja more e te chiamma
meglio si te 'mparave zappatore
ca o zappatore nun s''a scorda 'a mamma
te chiamma ancora «gioia»
e arravugliata dint' 'o scialle niro
dice «mo torno core 'e mamma soia
se venne a piglia ll’urdemo suspiro»
chi so vuje mme guardate
so' 'o pate i' songo 'o pate
e nun mme po' caccia'
so' nu faticatore
e magno pane e pane
si zappo 'a terra chesto te fa onore
addenocchiate e vaseme 'sti mmane.
Lyrics translation
Happy evening
to all the 'signs' involved
e a chesta cummitiva hosted allera
d'omme scicche e femme pittata
chesta is 'na party' and dance
all of them broke their heads.
it's the' ca so 'schito' in the Jackal Cup
without seeking 'or permission I dazzle' as well
who do I know?
aggio araputa ' a porta
and so' trasuto cca'
Musical Music
make yourself bite honor
tonight, I'm going to take my breath away.
dazzle a hopping peasant
No, sir, lawyer.
listen to me nu ve put squorno
I pe 've done' Lord Aggio hoe
and I'm still hopping night and night
and so ' Duje anne duje
ca nun writes NU rigo at my house
Your Lordship, if he puts up the horn and nuje.
Pur'i mme metto scuorno ' e ' ossignuria
who do I know? tell these people.
as I ' songo no Kinte
ca nun 'O can 'hunt'
Musical Music
it's nice alleria.
i'm sorry to all of you.
he's dazzled and chiagno dint '' at my house
mamma toja gets more
O ssaje ca mamma Toja more and call you
better you te ' mparave hoe
ca o hoe nun s " a forget Mama
call you again " joy»
it's twisted in the niro shawl.
it says "mo come back core' and Mama soy
if he came to piglia L'urdemo sigh»
who so vuje mme guardate
so '' O pate I 'songo' o Pate
and nun mme bit hunt'
so ' nu tiring
and Magnus bread and bread
he hopped on the ground that's what honors you
addenocchiate and vaseme ' sti mmane.
