Me xe stà dito, e me xe stà contà
Language: Italian - Venetian (dialect)
Me xe stà dito, e me xe stà contà, Che Toni belo no pol magnar gnente. L'è tanto co una tosa incapricià, Che sète pani no ghe toca un dente. E dopo cena l'à magnà un salà, Con altri venticinque pani arente. E se Tonina bela no ghe cría, Vegniva l'ano de la carestia.
