Lyrics
Cri, Cri…
Nu grillu intra la notti stai cantandu
mentri la luna chiena stai nascendu
e si specchia
intra li canali.
Cri, cri.
Si tu sapissi luna che duluri,
Nu mi faristi chiangeri ogni sira accussì
cri, cri, cri… cri, cri, cri…
Vieni, vieni, vieni intra lu stagnu
guarda, guarda
comme sugnu bedda
Vieni, vieni, vieni ad abbracciarmi…
E lu grillu si tuffò
ma pi pocu nu s’affugò,
nu s’affugò…
cri. cri.
da chidda notti i grillu innammuratu
nu ritornò a cantari comme ogni sira
alla luna
cà si specchia intra li canali…

Lyrics translation
Cry, Cry…
No grilling in the nights you're singing
while the moon is still being born
and it mirrors
enter the channels.
Scream, Scream.
If you knew the moon that sweeps,
Nu Mi pharisti chiangeri every sira accused
Cry, Cry, Cry ... Cry, Cry, Cry…
Come, come, come in lu stagnu
look, look
like sugnu bedda
Come, Come, Come hug me…
And lu grilu dived
but pi pocu nu ran away,
nu ran away…
scream. scream.
from chidda nights I grilu innammuratu
nu returned to chants comme every sira
to the moon
there is a mirror inside the channels…
