O Lucia (Anonymous, set by R. de Lassus) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


O Lucia, miau, miau, tu nun gabbi chiu a me,
Sienta matunata!
O musutta lica pignata, cula caccata!
Chi e chissa billanazza, come gatta chiame me?
Giorgia tua sportunata
Che vol tanto ben a te.
La ti prega, cula mia,
Lassa passar bizarria,
Ch'aia, statua marmorata,
Perche l'autra tu trovata
Che non vole ben'a te !
O Lucia, susa da lietta, non dormire,
Scientia Giorgia bella cantare,
Con zanpogna e tanmorina,
Per voler far cantarata.
O Lucia in zuccarata,
Perche pur stai corruzzata?
Miau, miau gratta malata !
Va cuccina, licca pignata, cula caccata!
Sienta, sienta matunata,
Giorgia tua vol cantara
Che vol tanto ben'a te!
