Abballati

Abballati, abballati
Fimmini schetti e maritati
E si n’abballati bonu
Non vi cantu e non vi sonu
Abballati, abballati
Fimmini schetti e maritati
E si n’abballati bonu
Non vi cantu e non vi sonu
 
Sciù, sciù, sciù
Quanti fimmini ca ci su’
Ci nn e quattro scafazzati
Ni facemu che i patati
Ci nn’é quattro ammaccadeddi
Ni facemu che i piseddi
 
(si ripete dal'inizio)
 
Sciù, sciù, sciù
Quanti fimmini ca ci su’
Sciù, sciù, sciù
Quanti uomini ca ci su’...
 
Abballati!
 
Translation

Dance!

Dance, dance!
Unmarried and married women
And if you don't dance well
I won't sing nor play for you
Dance, dance
Unmarried and married women
And if you don't dance well
I won't sing nor play for you
 
Sciù, sciù, sciù
There are so many women!
Give them some scafazzati*
We'll cook them with potatoes
Give them some ammaccadeddi*
We'll cook them with peas
 
Sciù, sciù, sciù
There are so many women!
Sciù, sciù, sciù
There are so many men!
 
Dance!

Welcome Joss Malcolm on our LT site.
It is your first translation and I congratulate you.

You couldn't find two Sicilian words.
Please look in the Italian translation of this song, it may help.
