Io nun capisco 'e vvote che succede
e chello ca se vede nun se crede,
nun se crede.
È nato nu criaturo niro niro
e 'a mamma 'o chiamma Giro,
sissignore, 'o chiamma Giro.
E seh, gira e vota, seh,
seh, vota e gira, seh,
ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono
ca tu 'o chiamme Peppe o Giro,
chillo 'o fatto è niro niro,
niro niro comm'a cche.
'O contane 'e commare chist'affare:
"Sti fatte nun so' rare
se ne contano a migliare.
'E vvote basta sulo 'na guardata
e 'a femmena è restata
sott''a botta mpressiunata".
E seh, 'na guardata, seh,
e seh, 'na mprissiona, seh,
va truvanno mo' chi è stato
c'ha cugliuto buono 'o tiro
chillo 'o fatto è niro niro,
niro niro comm'a cche.
Ha ditto 'o parularo:
"Embè, parlammo, pecché si raggiunammo
chistu fatto ce 'o spiegammo.
Addó pastine 'o grano, 'o grano cresce,
riesce o nun riesce
semp'è grano e' chello ch'esce".
Meh, dillo a mamma, meh,
e meh, dillo pure a me,
ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono
ca tu 'o chiamme Peppe o Giro,
chillo 'o viste è niro niro,
niro niro comm'a che.
