Example
= Ta sa regordat? by Speri Della Chiesa Jemoli
=...
= Translation (Do you remember?)
=Do you remember – my sweet Lucia
The first time – we talked to each other?...
It was the festival – [of the sanctuary] of the Schirannetta...
We met – there on the parvis
You wore a dress – all flowery...
To rush you – I pinched you...
You blushed – as I stared at you...
You slapped me – I got your slap...
But your hand [lit. '"paw"'] – was so pretty
That on my face – it never hurt...
We made peace – with a small apple,
Small fish, soda – and cotton candy...
I bought you two hooves – with a bow on...
My word – you accepted it...
(I kept in stock – three cows in the byre)
And after Easter – we got married...
Now you are old – my sweet Lucia,
And I am no longer able – to play the fool...
But when I see – the Schirannetta
I still hear the sounds – I used to hear as your valentine!
