Canta Giorgia (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)


Canta Giorgia, canta che bede namolata!
Giorgia non pote cantar!
Che sta murta, passionata?
Tutta negra sta storduta
Quando bede gente ianca,
Canta, Giorgia, canta!
Alla cura che de cua
Siamo bernaguala!
Pamini Lucia, Pamini!
Che patrona vol francare,
Vo dar marit'o ime!
Piglia, gente lurma,
Che vo far gonell'a lia.
A ti cilum corachi bischine,
A regina ti maigara!
Tinche tinc, tinc . . .
Messer dorma, Parino sotto lietto.
Madonna gamb' in collo,
Messere grida, Madonna fuia,
Parin sona zampogna,
Armare Re io, gua gua!
