Lazzarella

1C’ ’e libbre sott’o braccioe a camicetta a fiore blu,vuò fà a signurinella’nnanze a scola pure tu;te piglie ’a sigarettaquann’e accatte pe papà,te miette già o russettocomme vire fa a mammà,Lazzare’…

Ma, lazzarella comme sì,a me me piace sempe ’e cchiù,e vengo apposta pe t’o dìvicino a scola r’o Gesù.Tu invece m’arrispunne «eh, già,i’ deve retta propi’a tte…pe me l’amore pò aspettà,che n’aggia fà?, nun fa pe me.»

Ah, lazzarella, ventata ’e primmavera,quanno passe tutt’e matinegià te spiecchie dint’e vetrine,solo nu cumplimento te fa avvampà.Ma, lazzarella comme sì,tu nun me pienze proprio a me,e rire pe m’o fà capìca perdo o tiempo appriesso a te.

Mò vene uno studente’nnanze a scola r’o Gesù.Te va sempe cchiù stretta’a camicetta a fiore blu.Te piglie quattro schiaffetutt’e volte ca papàte trova nu bigliettoca te scrive chillo là.Lazzare’…

E, lazzarella comme sì,ce sì caduta pure tu:l’amore nun te fa mangià,te fa suffrì, te fa pensà.’Na sera tu le rice ‟no”,’na sera tu le rice ‟ma”,ma si nu vaso te vò dàfai segno ’e sì senza parlà.

Ah, lazzarella, o tiempo comme vola;mò te truovo tutt’e matinechieno ’e lacrime stu cuscino,manco ’na cumpagnella te pò aiutà.E chiano chiano mò, accussì,te sì cagnata pure tu,e te prepari a dì stu sì,ma dint’a chiesa d’o Gesù.E chiano chiano mò, accussì,te sì cagnata pure tu,e te prepari a dì stu sì,ma dint’a chiesa d’o Gesù.2

Little Rascal

1With your books under your armand your blue flowery blouse,you want to play the little missin front of the school, too;you take a cigarettewhen you buy them for your dad,you put on the lipstickas you see your mom doing,you little rascal…

Yet, your being a little rascal,I like it more and more,and I come near the Jesus school2just to say that to you.However, you reply «yeah, right,and I should do as you say…as far as I’m concerned, love can wait,what should I do with it?, it’s not something for me.»

Oh, little rascal, breath of spring,3every morning, when you walk by,you look at your reflection in shop windows;a flattery is enough to make you blush.Yet, a little rascal as you are,you’re not thinking about me at all,and you laugh to make me realizethat I’m wasting my time in chasing after you.

Now, a student comesin front of the Jesus school.The blue flowery blousefits you tighter and tighter.You get a couple of smacksevery time your dadfinds a notethat that guy has written to you.Little Rascal…

And, a little rascal as you are,you’ve fallen for it too:love doesn’t let you eat,it makes you suffer, it makes you overthink.One night you tell him ‟no”,one night you tell him ‟well”,but if he wants to kiss youyou nod without speaking.

Oh, Little Rascal, time does fly;now, every morning, you findthis pillow soaked in tears;not even a girlfriend could help you.And now, slowly, this way,you’ve changed too,and you’re getting ready to say this ‟I do”;only, inside Jesus’s church.And now, slowly, this way,you’ve changed too,and you’re getting ready to say this ‟I do”;only, inside Jesus’s church.4
