Lu Cardillo (Live)

Sto crescenno no bello cardillo,
Quanta cose che l'aggio amparà!
Adda ire da chisso e da chillo,
Llimmasciate po' m'a da purtà.
Siente ccà bello mio lloco nnante
Nc'è na casa, na nenna nce stà;
Tu la vide ca non è distante,
Chella nenna aje da ire a truvà!
Si la truove ca stace dormenno
Pe na fata gué non la piglià!
No romore non fà co li penne,
Gue cardì, tu l'àviss'a scetà?
Si affacciata po sta allo barcone,
Pe na rosa l'àviss'a piglià!
Gue, cardì... vi ca llà no te stuone,
Va vattenne cardì ... n'addurà.
Si la truove che face l'ammore
Sto cortiello nnascunnete ccà,
Nfccancillo deritto allo core
E lo sango tu m'ai da purtà.
Ma si pensa... vattè chiano chiano,
Zitto zitto te nce aje d'azzeccà,
Si t'afferrà po' te vo cò la mano
Prietso mpietto tu l'aje da zompà.
Si te vasa o t'afferra cianciosa,
Tanno tu l'aje dire accussì:
Lu patrone pe te non reposa,
Poveriello, pecchè adda murì.
T'accarezza, te vasa! Ah... viato
Chiù de me tu si cierto, cardì!
Si co tico cagnarme m'è dato
Doppo voglio davero murì.

Darling, I'm sending you to a sweet nightingale,
How many things I hope it will learn!
To quickly visit one or the other,
And bring me back some pretty messages.
Listen here, my handsome, just in front of you
There is a house, a little girl lives there;
You won't find it far, you see,
You must go and find that girl!
If you find her sleeping sweetly
Don't take her for a fairy!
Be quiet with your feathers,
Come on, my darling, should you wake her?
If she happens to appear on the balcony,
Consider her a rose!
Hey, darling... look, you don't belong there,
Go away, darling... they'll smell you.
If you find her making love,
Hide this knife here,
Thrust it right into her heart
And bring me her blood.
But be careful... you must go softly, softly,
Silently you must approach,
If she catches you, she will take you by the hand
And you must jump on her back.
If she kisses you or holds you tenderly,
Then you must tell her this:
Your master has no rest for you,
Poor thing, that's why he has to die.
She caresses you, she kisses you! Ah... how lucky,
You're more certain than I am, darling!
If you had given me your place
After that I would truly want to die.
