La carità

Language: Italian

Er Presidente d'una Società
Che protegge le Bestie martrattate
S'intese domannà la carità:
- Ho fame, ho fame, signorino mio,
M'ariccomanno, nun m'abbandonate,
Dateme un sòrdo pe' l'amor de Dio!
- Nun te posso da' gnente:
- Je fece er Presidente -
- Io nun proteggo che le bestie sole ...
- E allora
- je ripose er poverello cacciannose er cappello -
- Fatelo pe' 'ste povere bestiole...
