Me xe stà dito, e me xe stà contà (Volkslieder (Folksongs)) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Me xe stà dito, e me xe stà contà,
Che Toni belo no pol magnar gnente.
L'è tanto co una tosa incapricià,
Che sète pani no ghe toca un dente.
E dopo cena l'à magnà un salà,
Con altri venticinque pani arente.
E se Tonina bela no ghe cría,
Vegniva l'ano de la carestia.
