I. The Butcher

E la luna mezzo 'o mare

Mamma mia me maretari --

Figghia mia a cu te ddari

Mamma mia penzaci tu.

Si ti rugnu a la chiancheri,

Iddu va, iddu veni,

Sempe 'a sazizza ne mani teni...

Si ci pigghia 'a fantasia

Ti sazizza figghiuzza mia.

(Prosa)

Provera figghia

A corpu di suzizza

A vonnu assecutari,

Ma quannu mai, ti una beneri cu mia.

II. The Baker

E la luna mezzo 'o mare

Mamma mia me maretari --

Figghia mia a cu te ddari

Mamma mia penzaci tu.

Si ti rugnu 'o 'nzalataru

Iddu va, iddu veni,

'U pistuluni ne mani teni...

Si ci pigghia 'a fantasi

Ti pistulia figghiuzza mia.

(Prosa)

Provera figghia

A corpu di pistulona

Ti vonno assicutari,

Ma quannu mai, ea mia ti una baneri

III. The Fisherman

E la luna mezzo 'o mare

Mamma mia me maretari --

Figghia mia a cu te ddari

Mamma mia penzaci tu.

(Prosa)

Provera figghia

A corpu di pisci

vonnu assecutari,

Figghia me cori

IV. The Garden Man

E la luna mezzo 'o mare

Mamma mia me maretari --

Figghia mia a cu te ddari

Mamma mia penzaci tu.

Si ti rugnu 'o 'nzalataru

Iddu va, iddu veni,

Sempe 'o citrolu ne mani teni...

Si ci pigghia 'a fantasi

Ti citrolu figghiuzza mia.

REFRAIN

Oh Mama, pisce fritte bacala!

Oh Mama, pisce fritte bacala!

La Luna Mezzo 'o Mare (English)

And the moon is in the middle of the sea

Oh my mother I must get married --

Oh my daughter who will we get

My mother I leave it up to you.

(I)

If I get you the butcher

He will come and he will go,

But he'll always hold the sausage in his hand...

If the gets a bright idea

He'll sausage you oh my daughter.

(II)

If I get you the fisherman

He will come and he will go,

But he'll always hold the fish in his hands...

If he gets a bright idea

He'll fish you oh my daughter.

(III)

If I get you the shoemaker

He will come and he will go,

But he'll always hold the shoe in his hands...

If he gets a bright idea

He'll shoe you oh my daughter.

(IV)

If I get you the garden man

He will come and he will go,

But he'll always hold the cucmber in his hands...

If gets a bright idea

He'll cucmber you oh my daughter.
