by Antonio Benelli (1771 - 1830)

La Morte
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Ton ton, chi batte là? 
Ton ton, sono la morte, 
Ci cameriere hei presto, 
O là, apri le porte, 
Sono tré mesi.
Che la salute in voce 
Essa mi prende à ginoco, 
Simostra è se ne và, 
Io la salute in voce hà 
Essa mi prende à ginoco 
Si mostra, è se ne và ; 
Ecco villane vende mia 
Conta co frà tim coro 
Ebra si sta con loro. 
Di mè, non hà pietà..... 
Ton ton, chi batte là?
Ton ton, sono la morte.
