from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Zilimbrina
Language: Corsican 
Ma chì voli la me figliola 
Sempre dici di nò, di nò? 
S’è tù voli lu vestitu
Eu ti lu cumprerò
O chì mammaccia cacaccia ch’aghju eu 
Chì nun cunnosce lu male lu meu
O mamma sì
O mamma nò
Questu nun mi face prò 
Ma chì voli la me figliola 
Sempre dici di nò, di nò 
S’è tù voli lu maritu
Eu ti lu truverò
O chì mammuccia caruccia ch’aghju eu 
Ch’hà cunnisciutu lu male lu meu
O mamma sì
O mamma nò
Questu sì mi ferà prò.
