Quannu vidu a tia
                                            Votu ‘ntunnu e mi ni vaiu
                                            Picchì vidennu dra pigna di loccu
                                            Mi si guasta a jurnata
                                            Mi linchi a testa di fissarii
                                            E mi fa svutari puru u stomacu
                                           Cerca di iritinni pagghiri arrassu
                                           Ca’ sta facennu pirsinu tagarìa
                                           Quannu fa u cammurrusu ti dassi
                                           Na’ masciddrata e ti facissi cutuliari
                                           Nu’ vaddruni
                                           sicuru ca ascuti la me vuci, baciu li mani….”
                                           E  mi fazzu u  segnu  da cruci.
