A l'acqua de li ffuntanelle (Anonymous, set by H. Henze) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


A l'acqua de li ffuntanelle,
addò ce vanno li bbelle a lavare,
la me la voglio scegliere 'a cchiù bbella
e sempr'appriesso la voglio purtare. 
Li gente ca scontrano pe' via:
Addò l'ha fatta 'sta caccia riale? 
I' l'aggio fatta a lu bosco d'Avella,
addò la neve nun se squaglia maie.
