  • Finesta Che Lucivi...
    Finesta che lucivi e mo' non luci tanto,
    cerco la nimma mia, ancor'addurimita sta
    s'affaccia la sorella tutta di nero vestita:
    la ninna tua è morta e seppellita stà.
    Chiamano il sagrestano, gli accende le candele:
    gli accende le candele pe' la resuscità.
    Tocca e ritocca la tomba, nessuno gli responde;
    la ninna tua è morta e seppellita stà.
    Ti ho baciata quand'eri viva:
    addoravi d'amor e c'iavevi i color;
    Ti bacio ora che sei morta
    e odori di rose e fior.
