A lu mircatu

A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari un puddicinu
cicirici fa u puddicinu,
e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !
 
A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari na iaddina
cacaracà fa la jaddina,
cicirici fa u puddicinu,
e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !
 
A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari nu iaduzzu
cucurucù fa lu jaduzzu
cacaracà fa la jaddina,
cicirici fa u puddicinu,
e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !
 
A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari nu puccidduzzu
crù crù fa u pucciduzzu
cucurucù fa lu jaduzzu
cacaracà fa la jaddina,
cicirici fa u puddicinu,
e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !
 
A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari na chitarra
arra arra fa a chitarra
crù crù fa u pucciduzzu
cucurucù fa lu jaduzzu
cacaracà fa la jaddina,
cicirici fa u puddicinu,

A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari na trummetta

arra arra fa a chitarra
crù crù fa u pucciduzzu
cucurucù fa lu jaduzzu
cacaracà fa la jaddina,

e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !
 
A jutu a lu mircatu pa ccattari n'aciduzzu

e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì,
e u puddicinu fa cicirici
sempi lu chiamu e nun voli vinì !...

Grazie mille Cescalina.
(Qui sul LT ci diamo del tu)
Spero che la canzone ti sia piaciuta.
È stata una delle pochissime volte quando non capivo le parole del testo.
Indovino che Cescalina abbia radici siciliane, ma sicuro non sono.
Perché non ti presenti meglio?
