Tammurru di la guerra
Ca soni soni soni
E nun t'importa nienti
Si nnanti anfocaliri
'na matri chianci e prega
'na matri chianci e prega, 'na matri chianci e prega…
Figghiu… unni si, figghiu ?
"santa maria matri di diu, prega pi nui poveri piccaturi"
"e maria d'arrè li porti, ca sintìa li curriati:
– nun ci dati accussì forti, su' carni dilicati"
Figghiu… che brutta notte
Che bruttu ventu…
Comu sbattinu li porti
Che bruttu prisentimentu…
Mi purtaru 'nu fazzulettu
Niuru niuru niuru niuru
Mi purtaru 'nu paru i quasetti
Niuri niuri niuri niuri
Mi purtaru 'na cammisa
Ianca ianca ianca ianca
Ma cu 'nu bucu an pettu
Ma cu 'nu bucu an pettu, ma cu 'nu bucu an pettu…
Figghiu… figghiu beddu…
Figghiu!… comu eri beddu, figghiu…
Un gigghiu prufumatu…
Che è bruttu lu tempu ca passasti
Chi mali mai facisti...
Picchì 'sta mala sorti ti tuccò?
Figghiu…
Tamburru di la guerra
'ca soni soni soni
E nun t'importa nienti
Si nnanti anfocaliri
'na matri chianci e mori
E mori di duluri, e mori di duluri.
Figghiu… figghiu…
Gigghiu prufumatu, figghiu..
Carnuzzi dilicati mei… fiigghiu… figghiu…
Figghiu...
