Mamma la rondinella

Sutt'acqua e sutta ientu navicamu
e sutta comu nata lu delfinu.
 
Ritornello:
        Mamma la rondinella
        mamma la rondinà
        mamma la rondinella
        gira vota e se ne va.
 
Nui simu dui marange su nu ramu
e tutti dui l'amore nui facimu.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
Vene lu ientu e cotula lu ramu
tieniti nella mia se no catimu.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
Ca se catimu nui 'nterra sciamu
e simu de cristallo e ne rumpimu.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
Ulia cu te lu dau lu core meu
nu me ne curu ca io senza au.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
Chiangendu notte e giurnu me ne vau
tuttu tremante intra lu core meu.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
La sira quandu lassu la fatia
ulia te trovu a nanti casa mia.
 
        {Ritornello}
 
Translation

Mom the little swallow

Under water and under wind we sail
and below us the dolphin swims.
 
[Refrain]
 
Mom the little swallow [bird]
 
Mom the swallow
 
Mom the little swallow
 
she turns, flies, and goes away.
 
We are two oranges on a branch
and we both make love.
 
[Refrain]
 
The wind comes and shakes the branch
hold on my girl, otherwise we fall.
 
[Refrain]
 
Because if we fall on the ground we finish
and we are made of crystal and we break.
 
[Refrain]
 
I would like to give you my heart
I don't care if I am left without it.
 
[Refrain]
 
Crying night and day I leave
all trembling in my heart.
 
[Refrain]
 
In the evening when I finish work
I would like to find you in front of my house.
 
[Refrain]
