by Guglielmo Luigi Cottrau (1797 - 1847)

La Madonna di Piedigrotta
Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect) 
St'anno porz'io vogl'ì a 
la Madonna Piedigrotta
e tanto aggio a pregà gnopà 
ca mme nce ave a manna
ce vanno Concettella 
Cannetella e Luisella
nzomma nce va chi mò chi pò 
e non se dice nò 
e schitto ha da toccare a Barbarella
poverella de fare spatazella
e sto golio de s'annozzà.

Ma tu nun ce può ì se mette a dì,
sì peccerella la stnad'è longa, sà, 
te può fidà de te la fà?
io mme la fid'ì fà, 
schitt'a ballà la tarantella, 
co castagnelle e bà,
trecc'a ballà, la lera la
Donc a dimme de si,
non fa sperire a Barbarella 
ca golio de zetella 
è peo de graveda porzì
