Ciuri di parma !
Ammatula mi scappi, e non stai ferma.
Siddu nun haju a tiá, mi nesci l' arma !

Flower of palm !
In vain I fly–in vain I search for calm.
My life goes from me–left without thee to charm !

2.
Ciuri di ciuri !
A costu chi mi cassanu lu cori,
Nuddu mi spartirà di lu tò amuri !
|
2.
Flower flowering !
E'en while thy sharpest shaft enduring,
Naught shall thy love from out my heart be snatching !
|
3.
Rosu ciurita !
Tannu nun passirò cchiù di sta strata
Quannu la morti mi leva la vita !

3.
Blossoming rose !
My passing steps no more'll haunt thy repose
When Death my life shall in last sleep compose !

4.
Ciuri di risu !
E si 'na vota ssi labbruzza vasu
Io moru e mi nni vaju in paradisu !

Floweret of rice !
If I but once may those thy dear lips kiss,
I then may die and pass to Paradise !
