Language: Italian - Neapolitan (dialect)
Aggio saputo ca la morte vene, tutte li bbelle se vene a pigliare. Tu che si bella, miettete 'm penziere: tanta bellezza a chi le vuo' lassare? Lassala a uno ca te vo' cchiù bene, si è pe' me, i' nun te voglio male. - Cchiù priesto 'e lassaraggio a lu terreno ca li lassare a te, core di cane!
