M'amaje na 'mpesa e bà
 (Sung text for setting by Leo)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
M'amaje na 'mpesa e bà  
e ntintirintì, e ntintirintà
che me gabbaje e bà
e pigliatella diavolà.
Po' essa fuje gabbata
e a me tornaje la sgrata
io le decetta abbia
no te conosco cria.
Schefenzia, facce tosta
mm'aje fatta già la posta;
tu sì na traitora,
vavattenne a mmalora.
E a mmalora, e aniello:
che te sia data botta de cortiello.

Composition:

    Set to music by Leonardo Leo (1694 - 1744), "M'amaje na 'mpesa e bà", 1739, first performed 1739, from opera Amor vuol sofferenza
