Cathalina
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Cathalina, apra finestra,
se voi senta Giorgia cantara;
se tu en'a me sonara,
passa tutta fantanasia.
Je te priega, core mia,
Non volere scorrucciare,
Perche Giorgia vol cantara,
Per passare fantanasia.
Spetta loco et non partutta,
Quant'accordo quissa Liuta;
Tron, tron, tirin tron, . . .
Andar avalenza, Gia calagia,
Schincina bacu, sana laqua!
Affaci'un poco, quissa pertusa!
Lassa via un poc' a tia,
Vogio cant'una canzona
Come fusse tamborina,
Hu, a te bella, hu a te mania,
Hu, a te canazza! Zuccara mia!
Chissa capilla come latte,
Fronte luce, come crescere,
Occhi tua come lanterna,
Chissa nassa sprofilata,
Faccia tua come smeralda,
Chissa labra marzapanata
Bocca tua come doanna,
Cizza grossa come fiascone;
Lassa biber'a Giorgia tua,
Bella infanta!

Vostr 'amore mi fa morire!
Tutta la notte la galla canta;
Giorgia mia non puo dormire;
Mala francisca possa venire
Come na ladra figla de cane,
Tira va trasse, bibe la broda
Come gatta nigra.
Poi che tu non voi facciare,
Jo di qua voglio par tutta.
Su, schiavo ladra, cana musata,
Diriet'a la porta, nistillingo,
Madonna trovata, nistillingo,
Con Giorgi'abracciata, nistillingo
