Miré pecché fai accussì? Ci inventeremo qualcosa Per ridere il lunedì Pe' fa pace cu' Dio Nun si sola Quanno nisciuno ce crede E dint' 'o core è tempesta Je te cercass' ogni sera Pe' cancellà tutt' 'o niro Crideme Vulesse vencere 'a guerra cu' te Miré tenive ragione Simme 'a speranza 'e dimane Nuje, nuje figli 'e 'na rivoluzione Ma senza 'e te nun sapesse che fà
