Tarantella del Gargano

'A woman, at sunrise she saw a woman,'Na donni, a lu spuntà lu sole aje visto 'na donni,
power of the gods, power of the gods,putenzia delli dii, putenzia delli dii,
power of the gods when she was young...putenzia delli dii quann'era granni...

When she was young power of the gods when she was youngQuann'era granni putenzia delli dii quann'era granni
and she had curly hair and a round face,et l'aveva capelli ricci et faccia tonni,
pale as the snow, pale as the snow,janca come la neve, janca come la neve,
pale as the snow on the mountain.janca come la neve a la muntagna.

Like the snow on the mountain,Come la neve a la muntagna,
pale as the snow on the mountain,janca come la neve a la muntagna,
God make her have this beautiful youth,Dio facitela avè 'sta giovani bella,
keep me wanting to follow her beautiful commands.tinè me vularria alli soi cumandi belli.
You want to serve the monks,Vojè belli a servì li munacelli,
and if you become a nun, he will become a hermit...e si monaca ti fai, isso eremita si farrà...

And if you become a nun, he will become a hermit,E si monaca te fai, isso eremita si farrà,
and you will say the mass and he will serve it.e tu diciarraje la messa et isso la sirvirà.
You want the brightest eyes are the stars,Vojè belli cchiù lucenti so' li stelle,
and how many you have loved you seem the most beautiful to me...'e quante n'aje amate tu mi pari la cchiù bella...

the most beautiful you seem the most beautiful to mela cchiù bella tu mi pari la cchiù bella
the most beautiful you seem the most beautiful to mela cchiù bella tu mi pari la cchiù bella
