Sia Maledetta L'Acqua

Sia maledetta l′acqua stammatina
Che m'ha disfatt′oimè do puverella.
Me s'è rotta la langella
Marammé che pozzo fare,
Vicini miei sapitela sanare.
Pe' pruvar′acqua doce de piscina
Me so′ spaccata la cicinnatella.
Me s'è rotta la langella
Marammé che pozzo fare,
Vicini miei sapitela sanare.
Pignata rotta nun la vò nisciuno
Ca po′ t'attocca ′a sta' pure diuno.
Me s′è rotta la langella
Marammé che pozzo fare,
Vicini miei sapitela sanare.
La pignatella l'hé 'a sape′ guardare,
Ca po′ ch'è rotta nun se po′ sanare.
Me s'è rotta la langella
Marammé che pozzo fare,
Vicini miei sapitela sanare.

May Water Be Cursed

May water be cursed this morning,
For it has drowned me, alas poor girl.
My jug has broken,
Oh woe, what can I do,
My neighbors, do you know how to fix it?
To try the sweet water from the fountain,
I have broken my little jug.
My jug has broken,
Oh woe, what can I do,
My neighbors, do you know how to fix it?
A broken jug no one wants,
For then you would have to stay hungry.
My jug has broken,
Oh woe, what can I do,
My neighbors, do you know how to fix it?
The little pot you have to know how to watch over,
For once it is broken it cannot be repaired.
My jug has broken,
Oh woe, what can I do,
My neighbors, do you know how to fix it?
