"La Carpinese" Traditionnel pugliese

Pigliate la paletta e vae pi' ffoco
va' alla casa di lu 'nnammurato
passa duje ore 'e juoco.
Si mamma se n'addona 'e chiste juoco
Dille ca so' state falelle de foco,
vule di' e llà, chello che vo' la femmena fa!
Luce lu sole quanno; buono tiempo,
Luce lu pettu tujo, donna galante
Mpietto li tieni duje pugnali argiento.
chi li tocchi bella, nci fa santo,
ti li tocchi je ca so' l'amante
'mParaviso jamme certamente...
vule di' e llà, chello che vo' la femmena fa!

Take the shovel and rekindle the fire,
Go to your loved one
And spend two hours in sport.
If your mother shows anger at your sporting,
Tell her your face is red from the fire.
Say what you like to her, a woman does as she pleases!
The sun shines when the weather is fine,
Your [bad word] are radiant, gentle lady,
Your bosom conceals two silver daggers.
He who touches them, my beauty, becomes a saint.
And I touch them, I who am the lover.
No doubt we shall go to Paradise.
Say what you like to her, a woman does as she pleases!
