Sì, comm’a nu sciorillo
tu tiene na vucchella
nu poco pocorillo appassuliatella.
Meh, dammillo, dammillo,
– è comm’a na rusella –
dammillo nu vasillo,
dammillo, Cannetella!

Dammillo e pigliatillo,
nu vaso piccerillo
comm’a chesta vucchella,
che pare na rusella
nu poco pocorillo appassuliatella.

[A Sweet Mouth]

Yes, like a little flower,
You have got a sweet mouth
A little bit withered.
Please give it to me
it’s like a little rose
Give me a little kiss,
give, Cannetella!

Give one and take one,
a kiss as little
as your mouth
which looks like a little rose
