Tarantella del Gargano
'Na donni, a lu spuntà lu sole aje visto 'na donni,
putenzia delli dii, putenzia delli dii,
putenzia delli dii quann'era granni...
Quann'era granni putenzia delli dii quann'era granni
et l'aveva capelli ricci et faccia tonni,
janca come la neve, janca come la neve,
janca come la neve a la muntagna.
Come la neve a la muntagna,
janca come la neve a la muntagna,
Dio facitela avè 'sta giovani bella,
tinè me vularria alli soi cumandi belli.
Vojè belli a servì li munacelli,
e si monaca ti fai, isso eremita si farrà...
E si monaca te fai, isso eremita si farrà,
e tu diciarraje la messa et isso la sirvirà.
Vojè belli cchiù lucenti so' li stelle,
'e quante n'aje amate tu mi pari la cchiù bella...
la cchiù bella tu mi pari la cchiù bella
la cchiù bella tu mi pari la cchiù bella
Tarantella of Gargano
'A woman, at sunrise she saw a woman,
power of the gods, power of the gods,
power of the gods when she was young...
When she was young power of the gods when she was young
and she had curly hair and a round face,
pale as the snow, pale as the snow,
pale as the snow on the mountain.
Like the snow on the mountain,
pale as the snow on the mountain,
God make her have this beautiful youth,
keep me wanting to follow her beautiful commands.
You want to serve the monks,
and if you become a nun, he will become a hermit...
And if you become a nun, he will become a hermit,
and you will say the mass and he will serve it.
You want the brightest eyes are the stars,
and how many you have loved you seem the most beautiful to me...
the most beautiful you seem the most beautiful to me
the most beautiful you seem the most beautiful to me
