La Mamma Di Rosina
La mamma di Rosina era gelosa,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
nemmeno a prender l'acqua,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
nemmeno a prender l'acqua la mandava.
Un giorno si alzò presto e andò al mulino,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
un giorno si alzò presto,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
ma trova il molinaro addormentato.
Te sveia molinar che è fatto giorno,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
te sveia molinaro,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
che devo macinar questa farina.
E già che sei venuta mia Rosina,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
ti voglio macinare,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
ti voglio macinare fina, fina.
E mentre che la mola macinava,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
se la stringeva al petto,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
se la stringeva al petto e la baciava.
Sta fermo, molinaro, con le mani,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
io tengo sei fratelli,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
io tengo sei fratelli, ti uccideranno.
La mamma di Rosina era gelosa,
bim bum bam, ciapa al coltel, taia zo el salam,
Rosina amami, per carità,
nemmeno a prender l'acqua,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
nemmeno a prender l'acqua la mandava.
Nemmeno a prender l'acqua,
con gli occhi bianchi e neri,
nemmeno a prender l'acqua la mandava!
Rosina's Mother
Rosina's mother was jealous,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water,
with her black and white eyes,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water, she wouldn't send her.
One day she got up early and went to the mill,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
one day she got up early,
with her black and white eyes,
but found the miller asleep.
Wake up miller, it's daylight,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
wake up miller,
with your black and white eyes,
I have to grind this flour.
And since you've come, my Rosina,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
I want to grind you,
with your black and white eyes,
I want to grind you finely, finely.
And while the millstone was grinding,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
he held her close to his chest,
with his black and white eyes,
he held her close to his chest and kissed her.
Stay still, miller, with your hands,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
I have six brothers,
with your black and white eyes,
I have six brothers, they will kill you.

She wouldn't even go to fetch water,
with her black and white eyes,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water, she wouldn't send her!
