Canzone del monacello

- Figlia figlia jesce e abballa -
- Patre patre nun pozzo asci' -
- Figlia figlia pecché pecché? -
- Jé nun pozzo accumpare' -
- Figlia figlia e che te manca
Figlia figlia e che te manca? -
- A mme me mancano li cazette -
- E ghiette 'o monaco e accumparette
E li cazette lle facette -
- Figlia figlia jesce e abballa -
- Patre patre nun pozzo asci' -
- Figlia figlia pecché pecché? -
- Jé nun pozzo accumpare' -
- Figlia figlia e che te manca
Figlia figlia e che te manca? -
- A mme me mancano li ricchine -
- E ghiette 'o monaco malandrino
E lle 'nfilaie li ricchine -
- Figlia figlia jesce e abballa -
- Patre patre nun pozzo asci' -
- Figlia figlia pecché pecché? -
- Jé nun pozzo accumpare' -
- Figlia figlia e che te manca
Figlia figlia e che te manca? -
- A mme me mancano li scarpette -
- E ghiette 'o monaco e accumparette
E li scarpette lle facette -
- Figlia figlia jesce e abballa
Jesce e abballa ca pare bella
L'anno passato ire zetella
Mò si ffresca pe' mmareta'
Pigliatille chisti cunfiette
'O muccaturo pe' ddinto muro
'A mamma 'o caccia 'nu pere annuro
'A principessa e 'a pettenessa
'A peresina e 'o mantesino
'A suttanina e 'o principino

The Song of the Young Monk

- Daughter daughter come out and dance -
- Father father I can't come out -
- Daughter daughter why why? -
- I have no shoes to wear -
- Daughter daughter what do you need
Daughter daughter what do you need? -
- I need new shoes -
- So the monk went and bought her some
And made her new shoes -
- Daughter daughter come out and dance -
- Father father I can't come out -
- Daughter daughter why why? -
- I have no stockings to wear -
- Daughter daughter what do you need
Daughter daughter what do you need? -
- I need new stockings -
- So the wicked monk went
And he put them on her -
- Daughter daughter come out and dance -
- Father father I can't come out -
- Daughter daughter why why? -
- I have no hair ribbons to wear -
- Daughter daughter what do you need
Daughter daughter what do you need? -
- I need new hair ribbons -
- So the monk went and bought her some
And made her new hair ribbons -
- Daughter daughter come out and dance
Come out and dance for you look beautiful
Last year you were still a young girl
Now you're ready to get married'
Take these sweets
The handkerchief for the wall inside
Your mother throws you a golden apple
The princess and the comb
The pear and the cloak
The petticoat and the prince
