“Amuri, Amuri!„ (“O Love! O Love!”)
Palermo (Sicily)
1.
Amuri, Amuri! chi m'ha' fattu fari!
Li senzii mi l'ha' misu'n fantasia,
Lu patrinostru m'ha' fattu scurdari,
E la mitati di la 'vimmaria;
2.
Lu creddu nun lu sacciu 'ncuminciari,
Vaju a la missa e mi scordu la via;
Di novu mi voggh'iri a vattiari,
Cà turcu addivintai pr'amari a tia.

1.
O Love! O Love! How have you led me astray, now!
My senses all are taking leave of me, ah!
A Paternoster I can never say now,
And I've forgotten half th' Ave Maria!
2.
I can't remember how the Credo c'mences,
And when I go to mass, I miss the way, too;
I must be rebaptized for my offences:
And all for love of you I've gone astray, too!
