Io nun capisco, ê vvote, che succede...
e chello ca se vede,
nun se crede! nun se crede!
E' nato nu criaturo niro, niro...
e 'a mamma 'o chiamma Giro,
sissignore, 'o chiamma Giro...
Séh! gira e vota, séh...
Séh! vota e gira, séh...
Ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono,
ca tu 'o chiamme Peppe o Giro,
chillo, o fatto, è niro, niro,
niro, niro comm'a che!...
II
'O contano 'e ccummare chist'affare:
"Sti fatte nun só' rare,
se ne contano a migliara!
A 'e vvote basta sulo na guardata,
e 'a femmena è restata,
sott''a botta, 'mpressiunata..."
Séh! na guardata, séh...
Séh! na 'mpressione, séh...
Va' truvanno mo chi è stato
ch'ha cugliuto buono 'o tiro:
chillo, 'o fatto, è niro, niro,
niro, niro comm'a che!...
III
Ha ditto 'o parulano: "Embè parlammo,
pecché, si raggiunammo,
chistu fatto nce 'o spiegammo!
Addó' pastíne 'o ggrano, 'o ggrano cresce...
riesce o nun riesce,
sempe è grano chello ch'esce!"
Mé', dillo a mamma, mé'...
Mé', dillo pure a me...
Ca tu 'o chiamme Ciccio o 'Ntuono,
ca tu 'o chiamme Peppe o Giro,
chillo...'o ninno, è niro, niro,
niro, niro comm'a che!...
