La Carpinese Lyrics

Pigliatella la palella e ve’ pe foco
Va alla casa di lu ‘nnamurate
Pìjate du’ ore de passa joco

Si mama si n’addonde di chieste joco
Dille ca so’ state faielle de foco
Vule, die a lae, chelle che vo la femmena fa

Luce lu sole quanne è buone tiempo
Luce lu pettu tuo donna galante
In pettu li tieni dui pugnoli d’argentu

Chi li tocchi belli ci fa santu
Chi li le tocchi ije ca so’ l’amante
Im’ paradise ci ne iamme certamente
Vule, die a lae, chelle che vo la femmena fa
