Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Lu suli è già spuntatu 'ntra lu mari
e vui bidduzza mia durmiti ancora.
L'aceddi sunnu stanchi di cantar
e affriddati, v'aspettanu cca.
Supra 'ssu balcuneddu su pusati
e aspettunu quann'è cca v'affacciati.
 
Li ciuri senza vui non ponu stari
su tutti ccu li testi a pinnuluni,
ognunu d'iddi non voli sbucciari.
Su prima non si grapi 'ssu balcuni,
dintra lu buttuneddu su ammucciati
e aspettunu quann'è cca v'affacciati.

Lassati stari non durmiti cchiui!
ca 'mmenzu ad iddi dintra sta vanedda
cci sugnu puri iù c'aspettu a vui...
pri vidiri ssa facci accussi bedda,
passu ccà fora tutti li nuttati
e aspettu sulu quannu v'affacciati.
