How Mammy Made It

Evandro Oliva

Comme Facette Mammeta

Quanno mámmeta t'ha fatta
Vuó sapé comme facette?
Pe' 'mpastá sti ccarne belle
Tutto chello ca mettette?

Ciento rose 'ncappucciate
Dinta mártula mmescate
Latte, rose, rose e latte
Te facette ncopp o fatto

Nun c'è bisogno 'a zingara p'andiviná, cuncè'
Comme t'ha fatto mámmeta, 'o ssaccio meglio 'e te

E pe' fá 'sta vocca bella
Nun servette 'a stessa dose
Vuó sapé che nce mettette?
Mo te dico tuttecosa

Nu panaro chino, chino
Tutte fravule 'e ciardino
Mèle, zuccaro e cannella
Te 'mpastaje 'sta vocca bella

Nun c'è bisogno 'a zingara p'andiviná, cuncè'
Comme t'ha fatto mámmeta, 'o ssaccio meglio 'e te

E pe' fá sti ttrezze d'oro
Mamma toja s'appezzentette
Bella mia, tu qua' muneta?
Vuó sapé che nce servette?

Na miniera sana sana
Tutta fatta a filagrana
Nce vulette pe' sti ttrezze
Che, a vasá, nun ce sta prezzo

Nun c'è bisogno 'a zingara, p'andiviná, cuncè'
Comme t'ha fatto mámmeta, 'o ssaccio meglio 'e te

How Mammy Made It

When mammy made you
Do you want to know how she did it?
To mix these beautiful meats
All that she put in?

One hundred roses wrapped
Mixed in the mortar
Milk, roses, roses and milk
She made you on the deed

No need for a gypsy to guess, damn it
How mammy made you, I know better than you

And to make this beautiful mouth
It didn't need the same dose
Do you want to know what she put in there?
Now I'll tell you everything

A basket full, full
All kinds of garden fruits
Apples, sugar, and cinnamon
She mixed in this beautiful mouth

No need for a gypsy to guess, damn it
How mammy made you, I know better than you

And to make these golden braids
Your mom got all excited
My beauty, what a treasure?
Do you want to know what she needed?

A healthy, healthy mine
All made with filigree
She needed it for these braids
Which, to be honest, are priceless

No need for a gypsy to guess, damn it
How mammy made you, I know better than you
