La Canzone Di Zeza

Zeza vire ca io mo jesco
Statte attient′a sta figliola,
Tu che sì mamma dalle bona scola
Tienetella 'nzerrata
Nun la fà prattecare
Ca chella ca nun se sape se po′ 'mparare,
Uè se po' ′mparare
Nun ce penzare a chesto
Marito bellu mio,
Ca a ′sta figlia me l'aggio ′mparat'io
I′ sempe le sto a dire
'Na femmena ′nnorata
E cchiù de 'nu tesoro assai stemmata
...soro assai stemmata
Vuie vedite signori mieie
A me che me succede
'Nnant′a sta chiappa ′e 'mpesa de mugliera,
Aiere jette a casa
E stutata stev′a cannela
N'ommo annascuso sott"o lietto steva
Zè! Che ce faceva
Mala Pasca ca te vatta
Dint"a stu bruttu naso,
Chillo era Don Fabrizio ′o patrone 'e casa,
Vuleva la mesata
De lu mese passato
Si nun era pe me ive carcerato,
Ive carcerato
Sarrà comme tu dice
Lo mò me n′aggia ire,
Vicenzella da 'sta fenesta fa' trasire.
Mugliera stance attienta
Penza ca so′ ′nnorato
Nun fà ca torno a casa 'ncurunato.
Torno ′ncurunato.
(Pulcinella va via)
Sì pazzo si te cride
C'aggio ′a tenè 'nzerrata
Chella povera figlia sfurtunata
La voglio fà scialare
Cu ciento nnammurate
Cu prievete, signure e cu li surdate
Pure cu ′e surdate
Oi mamma mà che veco
Nn'è chillo Don Nicola
Mò proprio sarrà asciuto dalla scola
Si chillo me vulesse,
Io me lo spusarria
E cchiù sotto de tata nun starria
Tata nun starria
Bennaie tutto lu munno
'Stu spantu de biddizza,
Comm′a sumaru io tir"a capizza
Pe′ chesta faccia bella
Nun trovo cchiù arricietto,
De lacreme aggio 'nfuso tutto lu lietto,
Aggio pisciat"o lietto
Credite a me zì abbate
′Sta povera figliola,
Sbarèa sempe quanno stace sola,
Nun penza cchiù a nisciuno
Tu m'haje da ′nguadiare
Si no essa stessa mò se và a scannare
Uè se và a scannare
Senza ca tu te scanne
Te faccio io 'stu servizio
Marì ferma ca vaje ′mprecepizio
Via tata mio perdoname
Cchiù non lo voglio fare
A tutt'e tre ve voglio addecreare
Uè ce vò addecreare
Hai fatto 'na gran cosa
Tiratella la mano
Vattenne zucculona ruffiana
A me... và muore acciso

Tu me faie esse ′mpis

Tu che canchero ′ncapa t'haje miso
′Ncapo t'haje miso!
Arreto arreto t"o metto
′Stu piezzo 'e cacafuoco
Cu Don Nicola haje fatto malu juoco

Pietà, misericordia
Io aggio pazziato

Vì comme tremma mò ′stu sciaurato
Sciù.pe' chi t'è n
(Don Nicola spara tra le gambe di Pulcinella)

Si tu me vuò bene
Nun m′accider′a tata,
Nun me tene 'a mente ′sta jurnata

La voglio pe' muglieri
Che diciSei contenti

Rispunne ′nzallanuto... nun lo senti
Nuto nun lo senti

Gnorsì songo contento,
Maie cchiù io 'na parola
M′hanna cecà si 'a dico a don Nicola
Ma vuie signori mieie
Nun ve 'nzurate maie,
Pecchè cu ′na mogliera passate ′nu guaio
Passate 'nu guaio

Via dateve la mano
Puzzate godè ′ncocchia
Uno ne cade e n'ato ne sconocchia
Maritu bello mio

Mugliera de stu core
Tutte faccia godè Copint′ammore
Dè Copint'ammore

Ih quante me ne fa′ chesta ccà abbascio,
Vò marita' la figlia e port"a pressa
E và dicenno ca tene li ccasce,
Dinto ce tene 'e caccavelle ′e Sessa
Carnevale và e vene
Nuje ce ne jammo e nun venimmo cchiù
Ih gioia soia
Chella vecchia ruffiana s′è arrubbata 'a quatturana,
ì′ pe' ce ′a fà vedè, ce 'a riett′ 'mmano
Ihgioia soia

The Song of Zeza

Zeza, see, I'm leaving now
Be careful, this girl,
You who are a mother from a good school
Keep her locked up
Don't let her talk
Because what one doesn't know, one can learn,
Oh yes, one can learn
Don't think about this
My handsome husband,
Because I have taught this daughter of mine
I always tell her
An honorable woman
Is worth more than a treasure, highly esteemed
...highly esteemed
You see, my gentlemen,
What happens to me
In front of this piece of a wife,
Yesterday I went home
And the candle was out
A man was hidden under the bed
Ze! What was he doing?
May a bad Easter befall you
On this ugly nose,
That was Don Fabrizio, the landlord,
He wanted the rent
From last month
If it weren't for me, you'd be imprisoned,
You'd be imprisoned
It will be as you say
Now I must go,
Vicenzella, let me in through this window.
Wife, be careful
Think that I am honorable
Don't make me come home crowned.
Come home crowned.
(Pulcinella leaves)
You are crazy if you believe
That I have to keep her locked up
That poor unfortunate girl
I want to let her enjoy herself
With a hundred lovers
With priests, gentlemen, and soldiers
Even with soldiers
Oh mother, what do I see
Isn't that Don Nicola
He must have just come out of school
If he wanted me,
I would marry him
And I wouldn't be under my father anymore
Father anymore
Everyone blesses
This frightening beauty,
Like a donkey, I pull the halter
For this beautiful face
I can't find peace anymore,
I have soaked the whole bed with tears,
I have peed the bed
Believe me, Mr. Abbot
This poor girl,
Always escapes when she's alone,
She doesn't think of anyone anymore
You have to watch over me
Otherwise, she will go and kill herself now
Oh yes, she will go and kill herself
Without you killing yourself
I will do you this service
Wait, you are going to the precipice
Father, forgive me
I don't want to do it anymore
I want to expose all three of you
Oh yes, she wants to expose us
You have done a great thing
Pull her hand
Go away, big pimp
To me... go and die, killed

You make me angry

You who have a cancer in your head
You have a cancer in your head!
I'll put it back, back
This piece of firecracker
You played a bad game with Don Nicola

Pity, mercy
I have gone mad

Look how this wretch trembles now
Go on, for who you are
(Don Nicola shoots between Pulcinella's legs)

If you love me
Don't kill father,
Don't hold this day against me

I want her for a wife
What do you say? Are you happy?

Answer, you fool... can't you hear him?
Fool, can't you hear him?

Yes, I am happy,
Never again will I say a word
They will blind me if I tell Don Nicola
But you, my gentlemen,
Never get married,
Because with a wife, you go through trouble
You go through trouble

Come on, shake hands
May you enjoy yourselves quietly
One falls and another stumbles
My handsome husband

Wife of this heart
May everyone enjoy Blind Cupid
Blind Cupid

Oh, how much this one down here does to me,
He wants to marry the daughter and take her away quickly
And he goes around saying he has testicles,
Inside he has the rattles of Sessa
Carnival comes and goes
We leave and we don't come back anymore
Oh, my joy
That old pimp stole the quatturana,
To show it to us, she holds it in her hand
Oh, my joy
