Sicilian folk song

Lucia Siringo
sings

There are different versions of the text.

Vinni la primavera,
Li mennuli sù 'nciuri.
Lu focu di l'amuri
Lu cori m'addumò…

E ammenzu suli e ciuri
Abbolunu l'aceddi.
Tutti 'sti cosi beddi
Mi fannu suspirà…

Si maritau Rosa,
Saridda e Pippinedda,
E iu, ca sugnu bedda,
Mi vogghiu marità…

Tanti picciotti beddi
Passunu pi 'sta strada,
Ma nuddu 'na vardata
A la mè casa dà.

Certu 'stu desideriu
Distruggi la mè vita.
Mi vogghiu fari zita,
Mi vogghiu marità…

Si maritau Rosa,
Saridda e Pippinedda,
E iu, ca sugnu bedda,
Mi vogghiu marità…

La dota l'haju fatta,
La casa l'haju macari.
Schetta nun vogghiu stari,
Rannuzza sugnu già…

La culpa è di mè matri,
Mi teni arritirata.
Ma ora la jurnata
Vaju di ccà e di ddà…

Si maritau Rosa,
Saridda e Pippinedda,
E iu, ca sugnu bedda,
Mi vogghiu marità…
перевод Чернега Натальи
Spring has come,
The almond trees are blooming.
The flame of love ignited
In my heart…

Among the flowers under the sun
Birds are flying.
All these wonderful things
Make me sigh…

Rosa got married,
Sarah and Giuseppina did too,
And I, who am beautiful,
Want to get married…

There are so many handsome guys
Walking down this street,
But no one among them is looking
At my house.

Certainly this desire
Is ruining my life.
I want to get a proposal,
I want to get married…

Rosa got married,
Sarah and Giuseppina did too,
And I, who am beautiful,
Want to get married…

I have prepared the dowry,
And I also have a house.
I don't want to remain unmarried,
I'm an adult now…

It's my mother's fault,
She keeps me locked up.
But now I have been walking
Back and forth all day…

Rosa got married,
Sarah and Giuseppina did too,
And I, who am beautiful,
Want to get married…
