Fenesta ca lucive
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
Fenesta ca lucive e mo nun luce...
sign'è ca nénna mia stace malata...
S'affaccia la surella e mme lu dice:
Nennélla toja è morta e s'è atterrata...

Chiagneva sempe ca durmeva sola,
mo dorme co' li muorte accompagnata...

Va' dint''a cchiesa, e scuopre lu tavuto:
vide nennélla toja comm'è tornata...
Da chella vocca ca n'ascéano sciure,
mo n'esceno li vierme...Oh! che piatate!

Zi' parrocchiano mio, ábbece cura:
na lampa sempe tienece allummata...

Addio fenesta, rèstate 'nzerrata
ca nénna mia mo nun se pò affacciare...
Io cchiù nun passarraggio pe' 'sta strata:
vaco a lo camposanto a passíare!

'Nzino a lo juorno ca la morte 'ngrata,
mme face nénna mia ire a trovare!...
