Lyrics
Io nun capisco, êvvote, che succede…

E' nato nu criaturo niro, niro…

Séh! gira e vota, séh…

Ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono,

A 'e vvote basta sulo na guardata,

Séh! na guardata, séh…

Ha ditto 'o parulano: «Embèparlammo,

Addó' pastíne 'o ggrano, 'o ggrano cresce…

Ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono,
ca tu 'o chiamme Peppe o Giro,
chillo…'o ninno, èniro, niro,
niro, niro comm’a che…
