  • Canto della Mietitura del Grano
       Ed ecco ch'è venutu gliu mese de giugnu,
    tutti gli mitituri a mete vanno,
    tutti gli mitituri a mete vanno.
       E mitituri mee metet'a tugnu1
    ka pan'e vinu pe' gliu mugnu2 manno;
    e mitituri mee metet'a rasu
    ka pan'e vinu pe' la taglia trase3
       Gliu primu jorno che ce icchi4 a mete
    icchi'a petì lecenzia 'gli'annammoratu;
    chigliu me desse non ce ì a mète
    ka ve' gliu verno5 e ce casc'ammalata
    ka ve' gliu verno e ce casc'ammalata
       La 'state stette 'mpunchiu pe 'morine6,
    La 'state stette 'mpunchiu pe 'morine;
    'na mente me lo dice vall'a tròva
    e 'nata me lo dice ka non covviene nò.
       'Nzinu ce gli portava 'dui ranati7
    'mpecchio8 'dui mela sapurite;
    refreschet' addefreschet'ammalata,
    cheste te l'ha mannate gliu tua 'nnammoratu.
       Oimè malata!
    te l'à mannate gliu tua 'nnammoratu;
    refreschet' addefreschet'ammalata
    'nno 'vvoglio che pe' mme pèrghi9 la vita.
    1 Tondo. 2 Per il mondo. 3 Entra. 4 Andai.
    5 Viene l'inverno. 6 Fu sul punto di morire.
    7 Melograni. 8 In petto. 9 Perdi.
