Cc'è la luna n menzu ô mari

Cc'è la luna n menzu ô mari

Figghia mia, a cu t'â dari?
Mamma mia pìnzacci tu
 
Si cci dugnu lu barberi 1
iḍḍu va, iḍḍu veni,
u rasolu n manu teni.
Si cci pigghia la fantasìa
mi rasulìa la figghia mia
 
O mammà, pisci frittu baccalà
o mammà, pisci frittu baccalà
 
Figghia mia, a cu t'â dari?
 
Mamma mia pìnzacci tu.
Si cci dugnu u falignami 2
 
Iḍḍu va, iḍḍu veni
u chianozzu n manu teni.
Si cci pigghia la fantasìa
mi chianuzzulìa la figghia mia.
 
O mammà, pisci frittu baccalà
o mammà, pisci frittu baccalà.
 
Figghia mia a cu t'â dari?
Mamma mia pìnzacci tu.
Si cci dugnu lu scarparu 3

Si cci pigghia la fantasìa
mi martiḍḍìa la figghi mia.
 
O mammà, pisci frittu baccalà
o mammà, pisci frittu baccalà.
 
Figghia mia a cu t'â dari?
Mamma mia pìnzacci tu.
Si cci dugnu u zappunaru 4
iḍḍu va, iḍḍu veni,
u zappuni n manu teni.
Si cci pigghia la fantasìa
mi zappulìa la figghia mia.
 
O mammà, pisci frittu baccalà
o mammà, pisci frittu baccalà.
Figghia mia a cu t'â dari?
Mamma mia pìnzacci tu.
Si cci dugnu u vucceri 5

Si cci pigghia la fantasìa

O mammà, pisci frittu baccalà

Si cci dugnu u pisciarolu 6

actually I could see why. The lyrics in the video don't exactly match those written.

Here it says it was disabled by youtube's request. It happens to me with my postings sometimes.

Pretty good translation but you're missing half the chorus.

Really poor Corsican spelling, changes much of the meaning. The entire chorus is wrong…fried cod fish. Mamma Mia!
