Lu me sceccu

Lu sciccareddu natu
di razza fattignola
Ma iera un gran mpiccatu
n'aviri la parola
Uora n'tantu muriu
ie arristai in croci
cu la sa bedda voci
Scurdari non si pò
 
Iu l'aiu comu un armoniu
sta vuci n'tra l'aricchia
picchì era na musica
ca megghiu non ci n'à
 
Chorus:
Iu l'aiu comu n'armonia
sta musica nd'aricchia
picchì era na musica
ca megghiu non ci n'à
 
Iu l'aiu comu n'armoniu
sta vuci ntra l'aricchia
picchì era na musica
ca megghiu non ci n'à
 
Lu sciccareddu amatu
lu vosi cchiù vicinu
lu vosi vurricatu
intra lu me giaddinu
Supra di la so fossa
ci pottu sempre i ciuri
picchì era n'tinuri
ca megghiu nun ci n'à
 
Translation

My donkey

A donkey born
of a very good breed
But it was such a pity
that he couldn't speak
Now it's dead
and I felt so bad1
with its beautiful voice
It cannot be forgotten
 
I have it like a melody
this voice inside my ears
because it was such a music
that there's no (one) better
 
Chorus:
I have it like a melody
this voice inside my ears
because it was such a music
that there's no better
 
I have it like a melody
this voice inside my ears
because it was such a music
that there's no better
 
The beloved donkey
I pit it closer
I buried it
in my garden
On his grave
I always bring flowers
because he was a tenor
that there's no (one) better
 
  • 1. Literally: I stayed on the cross. It's a reference to Jesus' passing
