Ninna Nanna
Fente la nane, fentele cantando,
finché la pòpa se ne va 'dormendando: Nina-nana.
La pòpa se 'ndormenza a poco a poco,
come la legna verda arent'al foco: Nina-nana.
La legna verda brusa e non fa fiama,
così la me pòpa a far la nana: Nina-nana.
Fente la nan pàra via 'bobò,
doman de sera vegnirà 'l papà. Nina-nana, ohh….
Lullaby

'Til the mama drifts off, it's a soothing thing: Lullaby.
Mama's falling asleep little by little,
Like green wood crackling in the fire's middle: Lullaby.
The green wood burns but doesn't flame,
Just like my mama, drifting off the same: Lullaby.
Hush now, baby, don't make a peep,
Tomorrow night, daddy's coming home to keep. Lullaby, ohh….
