E abballati, e abballati,
Fimmini schetti e maritati!
E s' 'un abballati bonu,
Nun vi cantu e nun vi sonu.

Sciù! Sciù! Sciù!
Quantu fimmini chi ci sù!

Ci nn'è quattru scafazzati,
Li facemu cu 'i patati.
Ci nn'è quattru ammaccateddi,
Li facemu cu 'i piseddi.

E abballati, e abballati,
Omini schetti e maritati!
E s' 'un abballati bonu,
Nun vi cantu e nun vi sonu.

Sciù! Sciù! Sciù!
Quantu omini chi ci sù!

Ci nn'è quattru scafazzati,
Li facemu cu 'i patati.
Ci nn'è quattru ammaccateddi,
Li facemu cu 'i piseddi.

Dance, dance,
Unmarried and married women!
If you don't dance well,
I will neither sing nor play for you.

Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
How many women there are here!

Among them there are four thin ones,
We will feed them potatoes.
Among them there are four gaunt ones,
We will feed them peas.
