Ta-iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarat...!
Lü 'l stava semper in d'un cantun
E 'l ghe parlava mai a nisün
Lü el pitürava matina e sera madonn sül marciapè
E pitürava lì, lì süla strada per fa sü un quai dané
ra-iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarat...!
La gent la diseva "cume se fa
A fa i madonn tüt, tüt spütascià!
Però quand pasaven o i ghe guardaven prima de tirà inans
E ghei guardaven e pö ghe daven, ghe daven un quai cent franc
ra-iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarat...!
Un dì che gh'era confüsiun
Gh'era il mercà in sü, in sü 'n del cantun
È pasà un ghisa cunt i scarpuni e'l g'a schiscià i madonn
Lü l'è saltà sü, el pareva una bisa, el g'a vusà dré: "Pirlun"
ra-iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarat...!
Ades g'an cambià, cambià cantun
L'è in d'un cantun de san Vitur
Nella sua cella ha fatto una pitura della crocifissiun
Il suo Gesù è vestito come un ghisa, un ghisa cunt i scarpun
ra-iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarattarattarattarira,
iattarattarat...!
