Original lyrics
Ninna nanna ninna oh
Ninna nanna, ninna oh,
questo bimbo a chi lo do?
Se lo do alla Befana,
se lo tiene una settimana.
Se lo do all’uomo nero,
se lo tiene un anno intero.
Ninna nanna, ninna oh,
questo bimbo me lo terrò!
Ninna nanna, ninna oh,
questo bimbo a chi lo do?
Se lo do alla befana,
se lo tiene una settimana.
Se lo do al lupo nero,
se lo tiene un anno intero.
Se lo do a lupo bianco,
se lo tiene tanto tanto.
Ninna oh, ninna oh,
a nessuno lo darò!

Translation
Lullaby
Lullaby, oh lullaby
To whom shall I give this child ?
If I give it to the witch Befana (1)
She's gonna keep it for a week
If I give it to the black man
He's gonna keep it for an entire year
Lullaby, oh lullaby
Such a baby I'll keep for myself !
Lullaby, oh lullaby
To whom shall I give this child ?
If I give it to the witch Befana
She's gonna keep it for a week
If I give it to the Black Wolf
He's gonna keep it for an entire year
If I give it to the White Wolf
He's not gonna keep it for so long
Lullaby, oh Lullaby
I'll give it to nobody at all !
