    Scapricciatiellu mio, vatténne â casa/ My little rascal, go home
    si nun vuó' jí 'n galèra, 'int'a stu mese..."/ if you don't want to go to jail by the end of this month
    Comme te ll'aggi''a dí ca nun è cosa?!/ how do I have to tell you that you better stop?
    Chella nun è pe' te... chella è na 'mpesa!/ she is not for you...she is crafty!
    Che vène a dí ch'è bella cchiù 'e na rosa/ what does it mean that she is more beautiful than a rose
    si po' te veco 'e chiagnere annascuso?/ if then I see you crying secretly?
    Lássala, siente a me, ca nun è cosa!/ leave her, listen to me, she's not for you

    Tu, p' 'a bionda, si' troppo onesto:/ you're too honest for that blonde
    chella è fatta pe' ll'ommo 'nzisto.../ she is made for a tough man
    Alluntánate 'a 'sta "maésta"/ detach yourself from this enchantress
    ca te pierde, figlio 'e mammá.../ or you'll lose yourself, dear son

    Te ciancéa cu ciento mosse.../ she seduces you with a hundred sweet-talk
    T' 'o ffá credere e po' te lassa:/ she deceives you and then she leaves you
    Te fa perdere 'a libertá!/ she makes you lose your freedom

    Tutt' 'e mmatine, mamma, dint' 'a cchiesa,/ every morning in the church, your mother
    prega, pe' te, 'a Madonna e nun repòsa.../ prays to holy mary for you, and she can't rest
    Jett' 'o curtiello...nun fá 'o smaniuso,/ throw away the knife, don't be so restless
    si no tu vaje 'ngalèra e 'a bionda sposa!/ or you'll go to jail and the blonde will get married
    curre add' 'a vecchia, va', cércale scusa!/ run to the old lady, go, and apologize

    Tu, p' 'a bionda, si' troppo onesto:/ you're too honest for that blonde....
    ..............

    Nun 'o vvide ca te repassa?/ can't you see that she's only teasing you?
