Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lazzarella by Domenico Modugno from Italian to English.
Ch'e libbre sotto o braccio
What pounds under or arm
E a camicetta a ffiore blu
And a blue flowered blouse
Vuo' fa a signurinella
I want to do it to little lady
'Nnanze a scola pure tu
'You go to school too
Te piglie 'a sigaretta
You take a cigarette
Quann'accatte pe papa'
When it happens for dad
Te miette gia' o russetto
I'm already giving you a snore
Comme vire fa a mamma'
How to live a mother'
Ma lazzarella comme si'
But lazzarella how yes
A 'mme me piace sempe 'e cchiu'
I always like 'e cchiu'
E vengo apposta pe' t'o ddi'
And I come especially for you today
Vicino a scola r'o Gesù
Close to Scola R'O Gesù
Tu invece ma rispunne, 'Eh, già
You on the other hand came back, 'Eh, yeah
I' deve retta propi'a tte
I must pay my own attention
Pe 'mme l'amore po' apsetta'
For 'me the love apsetta'
Che nn'aggia fa' nun fa pe 'mme'
What the hell does he do for 'mme'
Ah, lazzarella ventata e primmavera
Ah, windy lazzarella and spring
Quanno passe tutt'e mmatine
When every morning passes
Già te spiecchie rint'e 'vvetrine
Already you're talking about the windows
Solo nu cumplimento te fa' avvampa'
Only a compliment makes you glow
Ma lazzarella comme si'
But lazzarella how yes
Tu nun me pienze proprio a 'mme
You don't really care about me
E rire pe m'offa' capi
And laugh for me bosses
Ca perdo o tiempo appresso a'tte
I'll lose some time later
Mo vene uno studente
Now comes a student
'Nnanze a scola r'o Gesù
'Nnanze a scola r'o Gesù
Te va sempe 'cchiu stretta
She's always close to you
A camicetta a ffiore blu
A blue flowered blouse
Te piglie quattro schiaffe
He slaps you four times
Tutte' volte ca papa'
Every time it's dad
Te trova nu biglietto
Find you a ticket
Ca te scrive chillo lla'
Chillo lla' writes to you
E lazzarella comme si'
And lazzarella like yes
Ce si' caduta pure tu
You fell too
L'ammore nun te fa mangia'
Love doesn't make you eat
Te fa suffri', te fa' pensa'
She makes you suffer, she makes you think
'Na sera tu 'lle rice no
'In the evening you won't receive them
'Na sera tu 'lle rice ma
'In the evening you will receive me
Ma si nu vaso te vo' da
But if I don't want you
Fai segno 'e sì senza parlà
You sign 'yes' without speaking
Ah, lazzarella o tiempo comme vola
Ah, lazzarella or how time flies
Mo te truove tutte 'e matine
I'll find you every morning
Chine 'e llacrime stu cuscine
Chine 'e llacrime these cushions
Manco 'na cumpagnella te po' aiuta'
Not even a cumpagnella helps you a little
E chiano chiano mò, accussì
And so on, so on
Te sì cagnata pure tu
You're a bitch too
E te prepari a di' stu si
And get ready to say yes
Ma rint'a chiesa r'o Gesù
But go back to the church of Jesus
E chiano chiano mò, accussì
And so on, so on
Te sì cagnata pure tu
You're a bitch too
E te prepari a di' stu si
And get ready to say yes
Ma rint'a chiesa r'o Gesù
But go back to the church of Jesus
