Francesco Paolo Tosti / Gabriele D'Annunzio

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
