Lyrics

Berta filava e filava la lana,
La lana e l’amianto
Del vestito del santo che andava sul rogo
E mentre bruciava
Urlava e piangeva e la gente diceva:
«Anvedi che santo vestito d’amianto»
E Berta filava e filava con Mario
E filava con Gino
E nasceva il bambino che non era di Mario
Che non era di Gino
E Berta filava, filava a dritto,
E filava di lato
E filava, filava e filava la lana
E filava, filava E filava, filava E filava, filava
E filava, filava E filava, filava
E Berta filava, e Berta filava e filava la lana,
Filava l’amianto del vestito del santo che andava sul rogo
E mentre bruciava urlava e piangeva e la gente diceva: «Anvedi che santo
Vestito d’amianto» E Berta filava, filava con Mario, filava con Gino
E nasceva il bambino che urlava e piangeva
E la gente diceva: «Anvedi che santo»
E filava, filava E filava, filava E filava, filava
E filava, filava E filava, filava
E Berta filava, e Berta filava, filava con Gino,
Filava il bambino cullava cullava, filava l’amianto
E Berta filava

Lyrics translation

Berta spun and spun wool,
Wool and asbestos
Of the robe of the saint who went to the stake
And as it burned
He was screaming and crying and people were saying:
"Anvedi that holy asbestos dress»
And Berta spun and spun with Mario
And he ran off with Gino
And the child was born that was not Mario's
That wasn't Gino's.
And Berta ran, ran straight ahead,
And spun to the side
And spun, spun and spun the wool
And spun, spun and spun, spun and spun, spun
And spun, spun and spun, spun
And Berta spun, and Berta spun, and spun the wool,
He spun the asbestos of the Saint's garment that went to the stake
And as it burned, it screamed and cried and people said, " Look how holy
Asbestos dress " and Berta spun, spun with Mario, spun with Gino
And the baby was born screaming and crying
And people would say, " Look how holy»
And spun, spun and spun, spun and spun, spun
And spun, spun and spun, spun
And Berta ran, and Berta ran, ran with Gino,
The baby was spinning the baby was spinning the asbestos was spinning the baby was spinning the asbestos was spinning the asbestos was spinning the asbestos was spinning the asbestos was spinning the asbestos
And Berta ran away
