lyrics

Alaccia

Alaccia centu spini comu rosa,
Saziasti a fami mia e da me casa,
Cu ttia fui patruni d’ogni cosa,
Cu la to carni fatta Lipadusa.

Lu piscaturi quannu si riposa,
A terra sputa e inveci nun la vasa,
Lu vinu voli e a latu la so sposa,
U Pantaloni bonu e nna cammisa,

Un pezzu e pani duru cu n’alaccia,
Na fisarmonica e na tirata e boccia,
Un rappu di racina coccia a coccia,
E prima di curcarisi na lavata e faccia.

Ora l’alaccia pari cosa fitusa
E quannu iemu a fari la spisa
Ca lu carrellu pari a nostra chiesa,
U inchemu chinu ca ci vonnu pusa,

Tri quarti di li cosi su munnizza,
Però a nuatri pari na spirtizza.
Di piscaturi ora un ci nn’è cchiu,
Comu si po campari dimmellu tu.

Ca Lipadusa ormai esti New york
E' china di signura e china e locchi
E ni scurdammu u sciavuru di lu sali
Mi pari ca semu mbarcati mali.
