Calabrisella mia

Nina ti vitt'all'acqua chi lavavi
e lu me' cori si jinchiu d'amuri.
Mentri li panni a la sipala ampravi
iu t'arrubai lu megghiu muccaturi.
 
Calabrisella mia, Calabrisella mia,
Calabrisella mia, facimmu ammore.
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
sta Calabrisella muriri mi fà.
 
Quandu pe studio ia a la citati,
bedda non vitti a nudda com'a ttia.
Pensai ccu pena a st'occhi innamurati,
e 'nta stu muccaturi ti ciancia.
 
Calabrisella mia, 'sta vocca d'incantari,
Calabrisella mia fammi baciari.
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
sta Calabrisella muriri mi fà.
 
Mo chi di la citati io so' tornatu,
mi guardi e mi sorridi, malandrina.
Dassarrìa tuttu lu me' dutturatu
sulu p'avìri a ttia sempri vicina.
 
Calabrisella mia, daria la me vita,
Calabrisella mia, sulu pe' ttia.
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
sta Calabrisella muriri mi fà.
 
Sta Calabrisella muriri mi fà!
 
Translation

My little girl from Calabria

Nina I saw you near the water, you were washing clothes
And my heart filled with love
while you hung the chlotes out
I stole your best handkerchief
 
My little girl from Calabria, My little girl from Calabria
My little girl from Calabria let's make love
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
This little girl from Calabria makes me die
 
When I went to the city to study
I saw none as beautiful as you
I thought with pain about those eyes full of love
And I cried for you in the handkerchief
 
My little girl from Calabria, these enchanting lips
My little girl from Calabria, let me kiss
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
This little girl from Calabria makes me die
 
Now that I've come back from the city,
You watch me and smile, naughty
I would leave all my studies
Just to be always close to you
 
My little girl from Calabria, I would give away my life
My little girl from Calabria, just for you
Tirolalleru, lalleru, lallà,
This little girl from Calabria makes me die
 
This little girl from Calabria makes me die

Thanks for translating.

Some corrections:

I saw you washing your clothes (I'm guessing that's what is meant)

My heart became full of love, or My heart filled with love

about those eyes full of love

these enchanting lips - just sounds better than enchanting mouth :P

leave, not live
