Sette canzonette Veneziane

by Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882 - 1973)

1.
 (Sung text)

Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect) 
Fa nana fantolin de la Madona,
Fa nana anema mia, che mi te vardo,
Fa nana pignoleto de to nona,
E de to nono bel pometo sguardo;
Del to caro papà speranza bona,
Mio zensamin, e po zegio gagiardo;
Fa nana coresin, fra nu vegnudo
Per essere de san Marco un zorno scudo.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Povero Bernardon tuto impiagao!
Col baston son redoto, e pien de fame,
A pianzar per la strada el mio pecao
Che tuto intiero m’à imarzio el corbame;
Causa ste scarabazze, e la so scuola,
So sta butao ne la quinta cariola.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Soto quel sotoportego, Marieta,
Tuti dise che i diavoli la note
Zioga a la mora, o pur a zechineta,
E che i se dà in barufa de le bote;
E i dise che assae spesso i ghe le peta
A questo e a quel, se nol xe sacerdote;
Vegno da ti, amor mio, per sta rason,
Ai Tolentini, zo per san Simon.

 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Come i Zingari sono tre dì per liogo;
Ora in levante son, ora in ponente;
De la mia casa no me sento al fuogo,
Pur son in mezo al mar fra la mia zente;
Amor me scalda e mi ghe dago sfogo
Col canto sugerio da la mia mente,
E a Venezia sospiro per Violante,
Per Nastasia a Corfù, per Giulia al Zante.

 (Sung text)

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Voi sul ponte dei pugni darghe un pugno
A colù che el to amor m’à portao via;
Cussì, co gavarò ben macà el sgrugno,
Nol te piasarà più, tirana mia,
E ti cognossarà da quel che ho fato,
Se mi son bon de far star quieto un mato.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Cara, ti ti xe proprio una bissona
Che da oto remi ti vol far vuogarte,
Ma mi che te cognosso bela e bona,
No te vogio vegnir gnanca a la parte,
Capindo ben, che presto dodesona
Tuti a Venezia podarà chiamarte;
Onde, cara, te vardo a la lontana
E no vuogo per tu, resto in cavana.

Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Roma xe granda, e xe Venezia bela;
Roma xe santa, e xe Venezia bona;
Ma Roma non xe stada sempre quela,
Si ben Venezia sempre egual matrona;
Ga Roma fabricà Romolo e Remo;
Venezia Amor, vegnudo a vela e a remo.
