Original lyrics
Era di notte
Era di notte e non ci si vedeva
perchè Marfisa avea già spento il lume
e un rospo con la spada e la livrea
danzava il minuetto'n mezz' al fiume.
Tralalilerulà, tralirulà, lerulà...
L'era la notte che cantano i grilli
quando gli prese foco la capanna
ce n'erano de' grandi e de' piccini
e chi chiamava il babbo, e chi la mamma.
Tralalilerulà, tralirulà, lerulà...

Translation
It Was at Night
It was at night, and nothing could be seen
because Marfisa had already blown out the lamp
and a toad with a sword and a livery
was dancing a menuet in the middle of the river.
Tralalilerulà, tralirulà, lerulà...
It was at night , when the crickets sing
when her hut went up in flames
there were both adults and children inside:
some of them were calling "daddy!", others,"mummy!"
Tralalilerulà, tralirulà, lerulà...
