PREFATORY NOTE.
was not intended to friake a complete collection of Italian
IT Folk-songs, but merely to present some of the best and most
typical from the various provinces. In pursuance of this aim,
traditional songs have been included wherever such were procurable;
when they were not to be had, songs of a more modern character
have been introduced, but only such as have become genuinely and
deservedly popular among all classes.
For details concerning the several songs, the reader is referred to
the Notes at the beginning of the work.

THE EDITOR.
NOTES
No. I. La Savoiarde. (The Savoyarde) Savoy, although at present one of the departments of France, was
the cradle of the House of Savoy, the present Kings of Italy, and originally belonged to the Kingdom
of Piedmont As geographically it is naturally a part of Italy, its folk-music should have a place in this
Collection.
The accompaniment to this song has been very cleverly adapted by Heinrich Reimann, in imitation of
the hurdy-gurdy, a very ancient instrument used by wandering Savoyards.
No. 2. Dona Lombarda considered one of the oldest, if not the oldest, of known folk-songs. Versions of the
is
same words with music are found in almost every country of Europe.
different
Two versions of the music are given here, one from Piedmont, the other from Istria (the Italian Tyrol).
(It is through the kindness of Mr. H. E. Krehbiel that we have .been enabled to include in this collection
the very characteristic songs, Nos. 2 and 3 )
No. 3. L'avvelenato (The Poisoned Lover) is another version of Dona Lombarda; the story of the eel (or
snake) by means of which the poisoning was done, in a different form.
Nos. 4-9. Some of these songs from Lombardy have elaborate accompaniments, more so, perhaps, than is in
keeping with folk-music; but the melodies have been respected as far as possible, even if somewhat
altered as to rhythm and form.
No. io. La Biondina di Voghera. (The Fair Maid of Voghera.) Voghera is a town of Lombardy, near Milan.
The melody of this song was introduced by Donizetti in his opera L'Elisir d'Amore.
Nos. n to 14. The accompaniments to these songs were arranged by A. P. Berggreen. The great charm of
Venetian folk-music lies in its simplicity and grace.
No. 15. La Rondinella. (The Swallow.) The Italian poem of this song is to be found in the celebrated novel
" Marco Visconti," by Grossi. Petrella wrote another melody to these words in his opera Marco
Visconti.
No. 16. L'Addio del Volontario. (The Volunteer's Farewell.) This is a modern song, and became so popular
in Tuscany and throughout all Italy, during the revolution of 1859, as now to be considered a folk-song.
No. 17. La Barchetta (The Little Boat), also a modern song, but like a folk-song in character. Probably from
the beginning of the last century.
No. 18. Giulia gentil (Fair Julia) won extraordinary popularity through all Italy, also during the revolutionary
period, 1859-60,
being sung by Garibaldi's volunteers.
Nos. 19-21. These songs are by Gordigiani (the Italian Schubert). He succeeded so well in imitating the
character and the spirit of the folk-music of Tuscany, that now his music is sung by the people just
as much as the folk-songs.
No. 22. La Treccia Bionda (The Flaxen Tress), transcribed by Filippo Marchetti, has also been called " La
Livornese " ;but the most accurate researches have settled that it is Romanesca (from the Romagna).
No. 23. Er Passagallo (The Improvvisatore) is the name given to the extemporaneous poets who go about the
streets inTrastevere (Rome), and like their confreres in Naples, who are called Rinaldo, improvising on
the history of Rome;
of course very crudely, and twisting it to suit their purpose. It is almost im-
possible to give the rhythm of this song. They generally go very fast, and slacken the time according
to the words and the facility which they have in improvising.
No. 24. Piuriur, ti vo' sposa. (Piuriuri, I 'd marry you !) The refrain piuriurl cannot be translated. In all
parts of Italy they have some of these intercalari (burdens, refrains) which are repeated in the middle of
their folk-songs, and are typical of the different regions (provinces).
No. 25. Coraggio, ben mio. (My darling, be brave.) This song, although popular and traditional, does not
present the characteristics of a folk-song.
No. 27. Fatte la nonna. (Lullaby). The religious sentiment which predominates in this song makes it quite
typical of the education of the people in this part of Italy, where the domination of the priests has been
of so long standing.
No. 28. La Monacella. (The Young Nun.) Another version of this song is popular in Naples also. The
words and the music differ somewhat, but the idea is the same.
No. 29. IlSor Carlo Parmonico. (The Musical Master Charley.) Sor is the Roman for Signor (Mister). The
idea of this Sor Carlo following the band, and getting into trouble by being tripped by fighting dogs, is
very comical. Evidently the music of the song was inspired by some well-known march.
16689
VI
No. 30. Canzone di Campagnuolo. (Peasant's Song.) The ideas in this song are very poetical, although ex
pressed in the words of a peasant and the music, in its plaintive mood, is very descriptive of the senti-
;
ments that inspired it.
Nos. 31-35. These fine folk-songs from the Abruzzi are beautifully transcribed by F. Paolo Tosti, himself a
native of that region, the accompaniments being especially characteristic and elegant.
The remarks about the refrain to No. 24, apply equally to la gnicche, la gnocchi, etc., in the song " Dammi
un ricciolo dei capelli."
No. 36. Antonia. Rather than a song, this might be called a Ritornello (refrain) It is especially attractive for
the brightness of its music and the spirit of its words.
No. 37. Fenesta vascia (The Low Window) is probably very old, judging by its name, Colascionata, which means
a song accompanied on the Calascione, a species of large lute.
No. 38. La Monacello. (The Young Nun.) Evidently this is the original song ; the one sung in Rome being
a variant of it.
No. 39. Michelemm. One of the oldest folk-songs of Naples, probably first composed or sung about 1600.
By some it is attributed to Salvator Rosa.
No. 40. Fenesta che lucivi. This most beautiful melody is said to be the composition of Bellini. It is certain,
however, that if he did not write it, this song gave him the inspiration for several of the melodies in his
early operas.
No. 41. Cicerenella.The rhythm of this song is typical of the Tarantella, the national dance of Naples; the
minor key being always used for this dance-music.
No. 42. La Luisella. A very pretty and graceful song, much like Neapolitan music in style.
No. 43. La Vera Sorrentina. (The Real Maid of Sorrento ) At the time of the feast of Piedigrotta, the great
Neapolitan holiday during the old regime, the troops went on parade to escort the King on his visit to the
Church of Piedigrotta. The description of the storm, and of all the troubles that the Sorrentina caused
the poor sailor, is especially attractive.
No. 44. Santa Lucia. No comments need be made on this song, which, from its having been carried every-
where by itinerant musicians, has become almost a folk-song of all nations. This explains why the
gondoliers on the Laguna consider it their own, as much as the fishermen in Naples.
No. 45. La Carolina. A song similar to La Luisella in spirit, although quite different in rhythm.
No. 46. La Fiera de Masf Andrea. Another of the very old songs of Naples. It is not likely that Salvator
Rosa composed it, but the second idea of it reminds slightly of a musical fragment by that celebrated
and musician.
painter, poet,
No. 47. Trippole, trappole. Considered of Spanish origin, probably on account of the rhythm and style, which
perhaps is the case with many of the old Neapolitan songs.
The reason is easily seen, from the fact that Naples was under Spanish rule for several centuries.
No. 48. Lavandare. This is also a refrain, and is very popular with the local washerwomen, a great majority
of whom at one time resided in the village of Vomero, which is situated on the hill above Naples.
No. 49. / Zampognari. (The Bagpipers.) They come to Naples from the mountains of Abruzzi at Christmas-
tide,and go about from house to house playing and singing before the image of the Holy Infant during
the Novena (the nine days before Christmas). There are generally two, who go together, one playing the
bagpipe, the other a species of small clarinet called Ciaramella. The music which is given here is
played by them with some little change, and while the bagpiper continues the accompaniment, the one who
plays the clarinet stops to sing the different stanzas of this Pastorale. It is particularly interesting from
the pastoral character of the music and the beautiful poetical ideas of the words. In all probability the
melody suggested to Hndel the theme of his pastorale in The Messiah.
No. 50. La Festa di Piedigrotta. Here again the festival of Piedigrotta supplies the subject for a lovely song.
Itwas, and still is, the custom of the people of Naples and the neighborhood to go to the shrine of the
Madonna (in whose honor the celebration took place) on the eve of the 8th of September. A great
many of the young people go there singing the new songs, and playing on the different instruments with
which they accompany the Tarantella
such as tambourines, castanets, and trie balia (a wooden 1
device in the shape of two or three hammers with handles joined together, which they strike to mark the
rhythm of the dance).
No. 51. A Ischia, etc. Ischia is an island in the bay of Naples, where some of the peasants make their living
by plaiting straw-goods, especially fans. Marano, a village, is famous for its strawberries and cherries ;
Capri, another island in the same bay, is overrun with quails at the time of their transit to and from
Africa, where they breed; at Massa they make a specialty of cream cheese, which explains all the
similes given in this song. Nfrunchete, nfrunchete, is the usual refrain, that cannot be translated, and
which in this instance imitates the sound of string-instruments.
No. 52. La Capuana. This plaintive cantilena is supposed to be from Capua, a city near Naples.
16689
VII
No. 53. Canzone di Somma (Song of Somma) so called because, perhaps, it refers to some
;
girls in that
village. Somma is on the slope of the extinct volcano of that name, near Vesuvius.
Nos. 54-56. The inborn in the Calabrian people, is well expressed in the Catanzarese, while
spirit of revenge,
the Scillitana is full and the Calavresella dainty, and simple in sentiment. The music of
of passion,
the first two has a leaning toward the weird and mournful, which is typical of the Sicilian, and has some
of the character of Neapolitan song; it is generally written in the minor mode. Calabria is between
Naples and Sicily, and resembles both in the style of its folk-music.
No. 57. Canzone di li Carriieri. (The Waggoners' Song.) The refrain Toinella toi nai, etc., is peculiar to the
and is found in many of their folk-songs.
Sicilians,
No. 58. Alla Fontana. (By the Spring.) Another Ritornello with chorus-accompaniment; the refrain Toinella
toin being similar to the above.
No. 59. Lu labbru. (The Lips.) The words of this song are by the celebrated Sicilian dialect poet Abb Mele.
They are very beautiful, and the music, although somewhat modern, has all the characteristics of Sicilian
folk-music.
No. 60. Canto del Carcerato (The Prisoner's Song.) This cantilena is extremely pretty. Its weird style shows
the influence of Arab music. The Sicilians are geographically neighbors of the Arabs, and at one
time their island was overrun by the Saracens.
No. 61. Serenata. (Serenade.) Again another Ritornello, rather than a real song. Especially characteristic of
Arabic origin in the interval from d flat to b natural, which occurs twice.
No. 63. Amuri, amuri. (O Love, O Love.) Refrain sung by the muleteers.
No. 64. Malatu f

amuri. (Ill for Love.) A pathetic melody in the minor mode very peculiar for its chromatic
descending scale another strong proof of Arabic influence.
No. 65. Canto de' Contadini Etnei. Song of the Peasants from the neighborhood of Mount Etna. The "ngu-,
ngu " is the sound by which they imitate the cry of an infant, in their dialect.

"SE AMOR MAI DA VU SE VEDE.,,
i.
Se Amor mai da vu se vede, Saven come me l'ha fatto

Cari putti, a gogolar, A chiapparmi sto briccon?
Per piet no deghe fede, El s'ha messo come un gatto
No lo stessi a carezzar. Quacchio quacchio in cuffolon.
Sulla bocca et mostra il riso, L'aspetta ch'un di Ninetta
La dolcezza sul suo viso; Me contasse una fiabetta,
Ma col rder sulla bocca Mi credendo esser in porto,
El ve pizzica, ve tocca, De col non m'avea accorto,
E fra mezzo alle carezze E la vien per la drio via,
Mille dardi, mille frezze Chiappa, strenze e mena via,
|:Quel furbazzo sa misciar.:| |:N vai pianto, n rason. :|
"IF YOU EVER LOOK ON LOVE."
i.
Oh, my children, if you ever Have I told you how he caught me

Look on Love while he 's at play, When he gave my heart this wound?
Never stop to hear him, never ! How he slily creeping sought me
Or caress him on your way. Like a cat upon the ground?
Not a mouth so sweetly smiling, I was list'ning to a story
Not a face that's so beguiling: That Ninetta was relating,

Tho' his lips are wreath'd in laughter, And I never thought to worry,
He you to the heart a minute after;
will stab For I did not see him waiting :
Like a thousand pointed arrows Then he softly came behind me,

His caresses pierce your marrows, And so tightly he did bind me,
| : Till the rogue has caught his prey.:| |:That relief I've never found 1:|

LA RONDINELLA. THE SWALLOW.
Rondinella pellegrina, Pilgrim swallow, lightly winging,

Che ti posi sul verone, Now upon the terrace sitting,
Ricantando ogni mattina Ev'ry morn I hear thee singing

Quella flebile canzone, In sad tones thy song repeating.
|:Che vuoi dirmi in tua favella, |:What may be the tale thou'rt telling,
Pellegrina rondinella?:! Pilgrim -swallow, near my dwelling ?:|
Solitaria nell'oblio, In thy solitude abandoned,

Dal tuo sposo abbandonata, By thy mate perchance forsaken,
Piangi forse al pianto mio Dost thou weep to see me weeping,
Vedove tta sconsolata? Gentle widow all heartbroken?
|: Piangi, piangi, in tua favella, | : From thy tears relief I borrow,
Pellegrina rondinella.:! Weep then, weep, thou pilgrim swallow. :|
Pur di me manco infelice Thou art happier far than I am,

Tu alle penne almen t'affidi, On wing at least thou'rt flying;
free
Scorri il lago, e la pendice, Over lake and breezy mountain,
Empi l'aria de tuoi gridi, Thou canst fill the air with crying
|: Tutto il giorno in tua favella |: His dear name through cave and hollow:
Lui chiamando, o rondinella ! :| Thou art free, thou pretty swallow. :|
Oh se anch'io ! . . . Ma lo contende Were I free ! but 't is denied me

Questa bassa angusta volta, This low roof my soul confineth,
Dove'l sole non risplende, E'en of air they have deprived me,
Dove l'aria ancor m' tolta, Here the bright sun never shineth ;
|: D'onde a te la mia favella |:From this murky dungeon hollow

Giunge appena, o rondinella.:! Scarce my words can reach thee, swallow ! :
5-
Il Settembre innanzi viene Soon September will be coming,

E a lasciarmi ti prepari: Soon wilt thou prepare for leaving,
Tu vedrai lontane arene, To far shores wilt thou be roaming,
Nuovi monti, nuovi mari, O'er new seas and mountains cleaving.
|: Salutando in tua favella, |:O f thy flight could I but follow!
Pellegrina rondinella.:! Greet them for me, pilgrim swallow 1 :|
6.
Ed io tutte le mattine Here then ev'ry morn awaking,

Riaprendo gli occhi al pianto, In mine eyes will tears be springing,
Fra le nevi e fra le brine 'Mid the snow and frost so chilling
Creder d'udir quel canto, I shall deem I hear thee singing;
|:Onde par che in tua favella |:And 'twill seem that in thy ditty
Mi compianga, o rondinella.:! Thou art fain to tell thy pity. :
|

Una croce a primavera In the spring a cross so lonely

Troverai su questo suolo: On this soil wilt thou find planted;
Rondinella, in su la sera . Swallow, in the shades of evening
Sovra lei raccogli il volo ;
Let my poor wish be granted
last :
|: Dimmi pace in tua favella, |: Circle round my

narrow dwelling,
Pellegrina rondinella.:! While thy song of peace is telling. :

La barchetta che scorre sull'onde Now the vessel that flies o'er the billow
S'avvicina portando il mio bene: Is approaching, and brings home my lover;
O contento I finiscon le pene, O what joy ! soon all pain will be over,
Fra brev'ora ilmio amor rivedr 1 Soon again my true love I shall seel

Egli riede ricolmo d'onori, He returns now with proud honors laden,
Conquistati sul campo di gloria, From the field where so bravely he bore him,
L qual prode guid la vittoria, Vict'ry pointed the way there before him,
Qui al mio fianco l'adduce l'amor. But 'tis love guideshim hither to me.
Vien t'affretta, ecc. Swiftly bring him back once more, etc.
Voga, voga oh barchetta veloce, Row then, row, happy vessel, so swiftly
Sopra l'alghe del placido mare : O'er the weeds of the bright tranquil ocean,
Corri, vola, non far pi penare Fly then, fly then and calm this emotion
Quest'afflitta che tanto sper ! Of a mourner, and blest let me be.
Gli dir del mio pianto versato, I will tell him of tears I shed for him,
Dell'affanno che mio core,
opprime il How my heart was oppress'd with its sorrow,
Poi fra i baci d'un tenero amore Love's caresses shall soothe me to-morrow,
Ogni traccia di duol sparir. And all traces of grief disappear.
Vien t'affretta, ecc. Swiftly bring him back once more, etc
Gli dir delle notti vegliate I will tell him of nights robb'd of slumber,
Fra i d'un rango tormento,

Poi stringendolo al sen dal contento With his presence so dear well-contented,
Il mio cor, sul suo cor poserai Then my heart will repose free from fear.

"E LO MIO AMORE E ANDATO A SOGGIORNARE.
i.
E lo mio amore andato a soggiornare

A Lucca bella e diventar signore,
E lo vorrei mandare a salutare,
Ma non mi fido dell'ambasciatore.
Val pi 'na parolina dell'amante
Che dell'ambasciator che ne fa tante,
Val pi 'na parolina del mio amore
Che cento mila dell'ambasciatore.
2.
Tutti mi dicon che son nera nera,

La terra nerane mena buon grano,
E guarda il fior garofan com' nero,
Con quanta signoria si tiene in mano.
Tutti mi dicon che il mio damo tinto

Ed a me pare un'angioini dipinto,
Tuttimi dicon che il mio damo nero
Ed a me pare un angiol vero vero.
"MY LOVE HAS GONE TO LIVE IN LOVELY LUCCA."
My love has gone to live in lovely Lucca,

And there he will become a lord, they tell me,
And now I wish that I could send him greeting,
But I 'm afraid my messenger would fail me :
One word a lover speaks will find more favor

Then any messages of love whatever,
One single word from him would more content me
Than fifty thousand that he ever sent me.
They tell me I 'm as dark as any brownie,
But where the soil is black, the grain is finest;

And see how darkly the carnation flowers,
Yet in your hand it waves in grace divinest.
Altho' they say my love with dyes is tinted,
He looks to me
an angel as they're painted,
Altho' they say he 's black as any raven,
He seems to me an angel straight from heaven.

LA BIANCHINA.
Avete pure un pallido visino,

Che fa tutte le genti innamorare :
Parete sulla siepe un gelsomino

E la Bianchina vi voglio chiamare.
|:E se vorrete far con me all'amore,
Vi chiamer la donna del mio cuore.
Donatemi una ciocca di capelli,

Che per memoria gli terr sul corej
Voltate verso me quegli occhi belli,
Mi sentirete sospirar d'amore,

|: D'amore sospirar mi senterete
Se un bacio, angiolo mio, voi mi darete.
BIANCHINA.
i.
Thy face is pale indeed as any flower,

And all who chance to see thee love thee madly I
A jasmin thou, that hath in a hedge her bower,

And my Bianchina I would call thee gladly;
|:Ah, could I win thee o'er with tender art, love,
I'd call thee e'er the lady of my heart, love !:|
One only let me have of all thy tresses,

That for remembrance on my heart I '11 bind me ;
From thy sweet eyes if only a glance caresses,

For love before thee sighing thou shalt find me,

If thou wilt kiss me my angel, I adore thee :|

LA TRECCIA BIONDA.
Bella ragazza, della treccia bionda, E se mi date un sguardo rubacore,

Per nome vi chiamate Veneranda : Io, bella, proprio a voi lo voglio dare
li giovani per voi fanno la ronda. Quel fior che tengo e che m'ha dato amore.
Pap non vuole, Pap non vuole, ecc.
Mamm nemmeno :
Come faremo
Per far l'amor?
Poi vi dir che rosa in primavera
Non tanto voi siete tanto cara,
E voi ci avrete gusto... e buona sera.
Venir se voi volete nel giardino, Pap non vuole,
Voi troverete, o bella, un tulipano Mamm nemmeno:
Che fatto par pel vostro canestrino. Cos faremo
Pap non vuole, ecc. Per far l'amor.
THE FLAXEN TRESS.
Oh lovely maiden mine with flaxen tresses, And if you send me one of your dear glances,
The name they call you by is Veneranda, Ah, then, my only darling, I will give you
The lads all want to pay you their addresses: A flow'r that Love gave me, and love enhances:
Papa won't hear it, Papa, etc.
Mamma can't bear it :
Tell me, how can we ever make love?
And I will say to you, In spring's delight, love,

There 's not a rose compares with you in sweetness 1
And that will please your heart and so good night,
Come down into the garden when I shall ask it, love !
And there you '11 find a tulip, oh, my beauty ! Papa won't hear it,
That looks as if it grew for your wee basket: Mamma can't bear it:
Papa, etc. That is the way that we shall make love !

Qnanno Noene l'arca frabbicone, When Father Noah built the ark aforetime,
Omini e bestie drento fece entrane, He let the beasts in with the men together:
Ma er corvo, che assordiva le persone, The raven, tho', who yelled as if 'twere wartime,
L'aria fresca manne- presto a pigliane. He sent out on the roof to watch the weather.
Er cigno invece co' tutti restone The swan, however, he gave rather more time,
E li fece cor canto rallegrane. For his singing rejoiced them altogether.
Io qui so er cigno e de cantane ho dritto : I sing, the swan! my right, who dare deny it?
Tu er corvo, dunque sfarda e statte zitto ! The raven you, so get along, and be quiet !
2.
Tu fai dritto lo storto e storto er dritto, White you call black, sir; black you say is white,
Ma che cigno non sei lo dir er fatto. sir,
Io te disfido a singoiar confritto But you are no swan, that I soon will show
E chi ci ascorta dica s so matto. you !
Dimme quar fune de Tarpea er delitto, I dare you here to meet me in fair fight, sir :
O che de sapienza
tu sei lo stratto ! All who hear, let them tell me if I know you !
Dimme che fine fece, e, si lo sai, Tell me the misdeed of Tarpeia aright, sir,
Dimme si er gallo a Roma cant mai. For I feel I'm in wisdom far below you !
Tell me what was her end, and, if you're able,

Did e'er the cock of Rome crow? is't a fable?
Tarpea trad la patria, e ho detto assai; Tarpeia betrayed Rome that you've compre-
Mor la rea sotto li scudi altrui. hended ;
Dichi si er gallo a Roma cant mai? Where she was buried, shields were overflow-
Per Dio, lo senti coll'orecchi tui ! ing;
Ma si arza er volo, nun ce so pi guai, And if the cock of Rome to crow pretended?
Che Roma trover li fiji sui. If you open your ears, you '11 hear him crow-
Mo' tu che sei dottore in battilonta, ing !
Quante le stelle so, si poi, racconta. If fly off, our sorrows were ended,

For her children Rome has a way of knowing !
And now, you scholar in a wig, I '11 task you :
How many stars are in the sky, let me ask you?
Dotto nun so, ma la risposta pronta: I am no scholar, but Iknow the answer:
Rena in der mare nun ce ne sta tanta, Not in the ocean are the sands as many
Quante so stelle; e tu vattele a conta, As stars in heav'n ; now count them if you can
S nun credi de crede a chi lo canta, sir !
Ma che serve de fa chi pi ci affronta, Tho' you value my singing not "a penny!
Quanno de forza avemo tanta e tanta? But why go on so, and fight man to man, sir,
Io lasso er canto e me ne torno ar monte, When we two are as near alike as any?
Te do la bona notte e passo ponte. I'll sing no longer, but go home to bed, now,
And so good-night, and never mind what l 've

Sei bella nel viso, In tears thou art lovely,

Nel pianto sei bella, Or smiling thy favor;

Qui resto coll'alma, My heart stays with thy heart,
Tu gioia, tu calma Thou only my joy art,
Sei solo per me. Of peace thou my bourne.
Sei bella, e vagando Oh love, on thy beauty

Su rive straniere When far I shall ponder,
Sar col pensiere Wherever I wander,
Io sempre con te. Wherever I turn.
Tu pensa che fede To-day but remember

Che s'io non ritomo, That ne'er to forsake thee

Son morto per te. Till death, I have sworn.

Il Sor Carlo che vien dall'Olanda quel suono dolce e grato

Per la strada trova la banda, Il Sor Carlo appresso andato;
Egli amante degli suoni, Quando al Popolo alla porta
Quando son strumenti buoni : Il Sor Carlo si conforta :
Zu na na na, zu na na na ! Mira di qua, mira di l,
Ecco la banda che passa di qua. Che bella piazza, che rarit !
Quando fu al Palazzo Fiani,

Liticavano tre cani;
Per fuggire il Sor Carlo in fretta
Inciamp a una chiavichetta,
Grida soccorso... ohim piet!
I cani in terra lo fecero and.
THE MUSICAL MASTER CHARLEY.
2.
Master Charley of Holland was straying, While so sweetly the harmonies twined them,
On the street a band was a-playing; Master Charley followed behind them ;
Now he loves good music dearly, Now the People's Gate he reaches,
When the tune goes loud and clearly: And he takes a reef in his breeches :
Dzoo na na na dzoo na na na
! ! See him look here see him look there
! !
Here is the band as it passes, hurrah ! O, what a beautiful, beautiful square !
Soon the Palace of Fiani he's sighting,

And he meets three doggies a-fighting.
And he runs in such a flutter
That he stumbles in the gutter,
Crying for help ! Oh, his fine togs !
Into the gutter he 's thrown by the dogs !

"CHE MAI T'HO FATT', AMOR?,,
i. 3.
Che mai t'ho fatt', amor, La lunga chioma bionda,

Che non mi guardi? E il tuo bel viso,
Dimmelo per piet ! Angiol ti fan sembrar
Non pi ritardi. Del Paradiso.
Se ti tormento, o cara,
Ah 1 non son io :
E questo cor la causa,
E l'amor mio.
WHY DO YOU TURN YOUR EYES AWAY?"
Why do you turn your eyes So golden shines your hair,

Away in anger? So fair your face is,
What have I done? oh, say I As of an angel arm'd
Delay no longer. With heav'nly graces.
If I torment you, love,

Myself 'tis never:
Only this heart of mine,
That loves you ever I

"CRUDELE IRENE, TU M'HAI LASCIATO.
Crudele Irene, tu m'hai lasciato,

Tu m'hai tradito, abbandonato;
Ma pure credilo, non me ne importa,
Un'altra bella ritrover.
Cento fanciulle di ogni sorta
A me promettono novello amore :
Ma, traditrice, ridammi il core

Che quel tuo sguardo a me rub.
Tu piangi... come io rido! ah ! ah !
Irene, credilo, un sogno matto

Quel che lasciandomi tu forse hai fatto;
Pensavi certo ch'io ne morissi,
Ma di te presto mi scorder !
E se tu allora te ne pentissi,
Io riderei del tuo dolore :
Ma, traditrice, ridammi il core

Che quel tuo sguardo a me rub.
Tu piangi... O come io rido! ah! ahi
UNKIND IRENE, WHY HAVE YOU LEFT ME?"
Unkind Irene, why have you left me?

You have betray'd me, you have bereft me !
But still, believe me, it does not grieve me,

For I shall soon win another prize.
A hundred girls or more, highborn or lowly,
Will promise new love if I depart now :
But oh you false one return the heart now

! !
That you have stolen from me with your eyes.

You are weeping Oh, how I laugh at you
! !
Ha ha!
Irene, surely 'twas a foolish dream yon had

When you forsook me so, maybe a scheme you
had ;
You must have thought that I would lay me down

and die,
But he you soon, whom you despise
'11 forget I
I '11 if you are sorry,

only laugh at you
And if you ever try on me your art now 1
But oh you false one return the heart now

! !
That you have stolen from me with your eyes.

You are weeping, etc.

FANCIULLO APPENA, TI PARLAI D'AMORE.
Fanciullo appena, ti parlai d'amore,

Garzone, t'adorai come il buon Dio :
Tu per trastullo mi donavi il core,

giocando irridevi all'amor mio.
Domani appi dell'ara al nuovo affetto
Darai promessa d'illibata fede :
Io coll'antico amor sepolto in petto,

Porr domani in altra terra il piede.
"WHILE YET A BOY, I TOLD YOU HOW I LOV'D YOU."
i.
While yet a boy, I told you how I lov*d you,
A youth, I worshipp'd you like my Creator;

You led me on, as tho' my passion mov'd you,
Till I saw love betray'd, and you the traitor !
Kneeling before the altar, you, to-morrow,

Will give a promise of unstain'd devotion :
I, with a heart forlorn in secret sorrow,

Shall seek another home beyond the ocean.

"FENESTA VASCIA.,,
i.
Fenesta vascia e padrona crudele,

Quanta sospire m'aje fatto jettare !
M'arde sto core comm'a na cannela,

Bella a quanno te sento annomenare I
Oje piglia la sperienzia de la neve !
La neve fredda e se fa maniare,

E tu corame s tant'aspra e crudele?
Muorto mme vide e non mrae vu ajutare?
Vorria arreventare no picciuotto

Co na vennenno acqua,
lancella a ghire
Pe mme nne
da chiste palazzuotte
:
Belle femmene meje, a chi v acqua?

Se vota na nennella da la'ncoppa:
Chi sto ninno che va vennenno acqua?
E io responno co parole accorte :
So lagrime d'ammore, e non acqua !
THE WINDOW LOW."
i.
The window low, the mistress none too kindly !
How many a sigh they 've made me heave between them !
My heart grows hot as any flaming candle

When lads will tell my charms and try to win them.
Ahi take the snow out yonder for a model:
The snow is cold, for love 'tis never grateful;
There 's one who 'd see me die, and never save me 1
How can a heart be always hard and hateful?
I wish I could become a handsome laddie,

And wander thro' the alleys selling water,
I 'd standbelow the windows, calling loudly :
My lovely ladies, ah who '11 have some water?

!
Perhaps the fairest maid would turn to scan me :
Who is this boy who wanders selling water?

And thereupon I'd give my answer shortly:
These are the tears of love it is no water.

LA MONACELLA.

Non so brutta e so figliola,
Pecche vonno ca sto sola?

Nce penso e sudo !
Barbaro mio destin tiranno e crudo !
3.
Zi monacella !
Aje ca non pensa a mene cchi nisciuno !
E che tanto m'aje jurato,

tu,
Che mai m'avisse abbandonata,

Aje traditore !
Tu manco t'allecuorde l'antico amore I
THE YOUNG NUN.
Oh, I am lonely I
For I was fifteen only

When I became a nun.
I am a girl, and not so homely :
Am I here because I 'm comely ?

Have I offended?
Wherefore a life begun,
So sadly ended?
O, I am weary !
Life is too dull and dreary

When one is all alone.
Thou, who didst vow thy bride to make me,
That thou wouldst nevermore forsake me
Ah me, thou traitor !
Thou wilt not even own

Thy love, or regret her!

LA VERA SORRENTINA. THE REAL MAID OF SORRENTO.
La vedette a Piedigrotta, When we met at Piedigrotta,
Tutt'a ffesta era parata, All her fin'ry she was wearing,
Pe guarda la truppa n 'frotta, To the army on parade there
Da la mamma accompagnata. With her mother she was faring
Na giacchetta aggattonata, In a golden-braided jacket,

Na pettiglia ricamata, An embroider'd waist to match it ;
Na gonnella cremmesina, Brighter eyes l 've never seen, ah !
E duje uocchie da ncant.. And of crimson was her gown :
E la bella Sorrentina And the lovely Sorrentina

La sentette annommen. She was called in all the town.
a.
Da chell'ora nn'aggio pace, Since that hour my peace is banish'd,

Stongo sempe a sosperare ; am always sadly sighing,
I
Cchi la rezza non me piace, All my love for fishing's vanish'd,
Cchi no ntenno lo ppescare : Idle too my nets are lying.

Co la misera varchetta In my lonesome boat returning
A Sorriento nfretta nfretta Ev'ry evening, ev'ry morning
Ogne sera, ogne mmatina I am hasting to my queen, ah !
Vaco lagreme a jett... Many a tear I there let fall :
Ma la sgrata Sorrentina But th' ungrateful Sorrentina

Non ha maje da me piet. Never pities me at all I
Mme spaventa la tempesta, I am fearful when 'tis stormy,

Mme fa afflitto la bonaccia, When 'tis calm I'm sad and sadder,
Chisto core sulo nfesta Only with her face before me
Quanno vede chella faccia. Does my heavy heart leap gladder.
L'auto juorno, io sbenturato, Not long since, there came a billow
Ca lo mare era ngrossato, I was sailing, wretched fellow,
Mmiezo all'acque de Resina In the bay there by Resina
Quase stea pe mm'annj... Nearly drown'd me in a squall :
E la sgrata Sorrentina But th' ungrateful Sorrentina

Non ha maje de me piet. Never pities me at all !
Si non cura cheste pene, If she will not hear me kindly,

Quanto cana, tanto bella, She, who 's cruel as she 's pretty,
Voto strada, e do lo bbene I'll forsake her, and I'll find me
A quacc'aUta nennella. Other love, another city !
Ma ched?...vi che s ben tura I Ah ! how dreadful ! Hear the thunder,

Iâmpa, e l'aria se fa scura. See the lightning flashing yonder!
Aggio spersa la banchina... Lost in darkness unforeseen, ah !
La varchetta p'affonn... Now my boat is sinking down !
Pe tte, sgrata Sorrentina, You ungrateful Sorrentina,

Io me vaco ad affuc ! 'Tis for you I have to drown !

LA CAROLINA- CAROLINE.
Aggio visto na figliola, I have seen a maiden slender,

Bell'assaje e graziosa, and sprightly,-
Graceful, pretty, young,
Tntt'acconcia e vrucculosa, With her dark eyes beaming brightly,
Uh I che zuccaro che d' ! Sweet as sugar, too, is she !
|:Quant' doce chella vocca, :My poor heart I must surrender,

Quant' bello chillo riso ! She enchants me when she 's smiling,
Tu mparadiso
te cride And her glance is so beguiling,
Quanno sta vicino a te. :| Tis like Paradise to me.:|
2.
Qnann'a sera stonco sulo, In the night, alone and weary,

Penso sempe a Carolina; Thoughts of Caroline come o'er me,
Vene nsuonno a mme vicino, And in sleep she stands before me
M'accarezze e se ne va, With a soft, caressing air:
|:Quanno p se schiara juorno, | : When the dawn is faintly glowing,
Chella varca menco a mare, In my bark I 'm sadly rowing,
Voca vo...che bu vocare, But so feeble I am growing,
N'aggio forza de voc.:| l 've no strength, I do declare ! :|
Caroli quanto n bella Caroline, she is so pretty,

Co sto musso a cerasiello I And her voice, it does so please me;
Ch'aggio fatto io puverieub Then why should she always tease me,
Che mme faje tanto pat? Causing my poor heart such pain?
)t Dice buono Tata mio, |: Father tells
me more 's the pity !

Oh che guajo che l'ammore
! 1 While you love,you '11 be in trouble 1
Tu te vide ntutte l'ore, At her sight my woes redouble,

Mpilo, mpilo ajem spere. :| For I feel my hopes are vain.:|
Tu te cride ca non pozzo? Do you think I am not able?

Io non songo no falluto; Never mind, I shall not fail yet,
No, vestito de velluto' I can buy a dress of velvet
Te lo faccio mmeret. Any time that you may care:

|: Quanno p jamm'a Puzzano, | : When we travel to Puzzano,
Chi te dice: quant' bella! Some will say, She 's like a fairy I
Chi: mme pare na rateila And the others, She is very

Mieze a tutte chelle lla.:| Sweet beside those women there I :|
5-
Aggio perzo a pace ntunno, All my peace of mind has left me,
Chi non beco, chi non sento; Nothing now can give me pleasure;
Faccio sempe nu lamiento; I am mourning for my treasure;
Ah chi sa si pensa a me? Does she ever think of me?

|: Si speranza chi non aggio, |
: Since of hope you have bereft me,
Ca tu bene mme vurraje, There is naught in life to bind me,
Viene a mare e truvarraje And some morning yon will find me
Nu cadavere pe tte l:| Floating dead upon the sea.:|

i.
Quanno Ninno a Bettelemme,
nascette No n'ceiano nemice ppe la terra,
Eia notte e pana mmiezo juorno ! La pecora pascea co lo lione.
Maje le stelle Co le aperte
Lustere e belle Se vedette
Se vedettero accasai I Lo liopardo pazzia:
La chi lucente L'orzo e o Vitiello,
Jette a chiamm li Magi, in Oriente. E co la lupo 'npace a pecoriello.
Guardavano le pecore li pastore;

E l'angelo, sbrennente chi de hi sole,
Comparette,
E le dicette:
N ve spaventate, n!
Contento e riso:
La terra arrenventata Paradiso I
SONG OF THE BAGPIPERS.
When Christ oar Lord was born at Bethlehem afar, There were no foes on Earth, or warfare blazing,
Altho' 'twas night, there shone as bright as noon Beside the lion then the sheep was grazing,
a star: Safe by the leopard
Never so brightly, WanderM the shepherd,
Never so whitely With the bear the calf did play,
Shone the stars, as on that night 1 The wolf so savage
The brightest star went Would not the tender lamb molest or ravage.
Away to call the Wise Men from the Orient
While shepherds in the fields their flocks were tending,

A shining angel came from heav'n descending;
When he beheld them,
Straightway he told them:
Hear my voice, be not afraid!
Be glad, rejoice, now,
For Earth has all become like Paradise, now !

LA FESTA DI PIEDIGROTTA.

Sfanno porz'io vogl' a la Maronna i Piedigrotta,

E tanto aggio a prega gnop ca rame nce ave manna;
Nce vanno Concettella, Cannetella, Porziuncbella,
N'zomma nce va chi m, chi p, e non se* dice n ;
E schitto ha da toccare a Barbarella, poverella,

De fare sputazzella e sto golo de s'annozz?
" Ma tu nun ce pu se mette a d si peccerella ;
La strad' longa, sa, te pu fida de te la f?

Io mme la fid' fa, schitt'a balla la tarantella,
Co castagnelle e b, trecc'a balla, la lera l !
Donca dimme de s, non fa sperire a Barbarella,

Goli'o de zetella peo de graveda porz.
THE FESTIVAL AT PIEDIGROTTA.
i.
I '11go along this year to see Our Lady of Piedigrotta,

For I shall tease Papa until he'll have to let me go,
And be Concettella, Cannetella, Porziuncbella,
there '11
That is who can, will go, and one can not say no
to say, t
And shall it then be only I, poor lonely Barbarella,

Who'll have to stay at home, altho' I'd dearly love to go?
But he will say : " She cannot go> she 's yet too young, I tell her ;
The way is long, she is not strong, she '11 do as she is told !
"
But I am strong enough to go and dance the tarantella,

we fly, and let him scold
Clicking the castanets, away !
So now say yes, and do not make me cry, poor Barbarella !
Ah what a young girl wants, she wants far more than one that
! 's old !

Into the sand there. And you have two, love.

I asked the fishermen near me But as 'tis so, I '11 teU you
Whether they'd seen it; What you can do, love,
Look in her breast, they told me, If you will give me your heart,

And there I needed only my tears to tame it Long on the hardest marble, and overcame it.

Tho' 't is your charms my heart owns, and so inflame it 1

LA CATANZARESE.
Crudeli d che peccato a doler t'hai, Come tratti il nemico, se tu dai

Se d'uccider chi t'ama non ti penti? A me che t'amo s tanti tormenti?
Se il mancar di tua f si leggier fai, Ben dir che justizia in ciel non sia
Di che altro peso il cor gravar ti senti? Se a veder tardi la vendetta mia.
THE MAID OF CATANZARO.
O cruel maid 1 what sin ever can torment you, How will you treat a foe, then, if you so slight me,
If to kill me, your love, may not repent you? When thro' my loving heart you pain and spite me?
If you the faith you plighted can break so lightly, I '11 say, there lives no justice in heav'n above me,
What else may bind your wanton heart more Should vengeance fail me, that no more you love me.

ALLA FONTANA.
Mamma, nun mi mannari all'acqua sula,
Picciotta sugnu e mi mentu a ghiucari;

Pr strata mi casc la tuvagghiula,
E un picciutteddu mi l'happi a pigghiari.
Toinella, toin, toinella, toin !
2.
E poi mi dissi, ch' bedda sta gula,

Ca un vasuneddu ci vurrissi dati,
E s ti'ngagghiu 'n'autra vota sula

Tutti li santi ti fazzu chiamari.
BY THE SPRING.

Mamma, pray do not send me to the spring alone,

For I am young, and may begin to play there;
To-day by chance I lost the kerchief I had on,
A fine young fellow found it on the way there.
Toinella, toin, toinella, toin !
3.
And then he said to me: "Your neck is very sweet,

And I should like to kiss it, tho' no leave be given;
But if another time alone we chance to meet,
"
I '11 make you call on all the saints in heaven !

SONG OF THE PRISONER.
Ah, friends and comrades all, who forth are faring,
My love to fair Palermo ye are bearing;

A greeting give to all my friends, my brother,
A tender greeting, too, for my old mother.

See what in town they all of me are saying,

And see if my aftair is growing quiet ;
For then, if God so will as I am praying,
My longing eye in freedom soon shall spy it

La notti affaccia versu li du'uri, Lucenti la so facci comu stidda,
Spinci la testa e si metti a friscari. A la mudestia un ancilu mi pari;
E quannu jetta lu friscu d'amuri, Oh Diu, fussi pri mia I fuss' iu pri idda !
Tanti dunnuzzi schetti fa 'ffacciari. Si so matruzza mi la voli dari!

O tu, picciotta, guardati l'onuri, Tantu haju a fari 'nsina ch'haju ad idda,

SERENADE.
There a snake that lives in yonder alley,

is And in the alley dwells the sweetest maiden,
He abroad by night, by day he 's missing,
is Bright as a star her lovely face is beaming,
Upon the stroke of two he forth will sally, She is so full of charms, my heart they madden,
Raise up his head, and then you hear him hissing. As any angel, too, she's pure in seeming.
a.
And when they hear the snake a love-lay hissing, Oh heav'nif she were mine, my only treasure
! 1
Maidens will run to look, and many are smitten; If Ican only gain her mother's favor,
But you, my darling girl, beware his kissing, There's nothing I'll deny to give her pleasure,
For if you are not careful, you'll be bitten. And I'll fulfil my vow to love her ever.

Let gloomy sorrow o'ershadow thee never; I think on thee still, each step I am taking.

For thou, thou only, shalt be mine for ever. Can love unite us together yet stronger?

La me sanga 'an la stissa la mi misi a raccontati
Comu an gela divintatu; La caciani d'anni veni
Cu st'ucchiuzzi ti taliu, E lu medicu mi dissi:
Mora, spasima e diliru, Figghiu, lassa sta partita,
la mi senta 'atra la cori Si ssadonna ta non lassi
'Na mancaza di rispira. Poco dora la t vita.
Iu sintenna dda panari

Cd rispasi a voci forti:
A sta donna 'un so Iassari,
Nun mi scantu di la morti;

Idda stissa la p diri
S' sincera lu me amuri,

M'accuntentu di murili,
E 'an chiamarmi traditori 1
LOVESICK.
When you often meet my gazes, Now the doctor came to see me,
On my senses frenzy seizes, In my sorrow and my anguish,
Thro' my very blood it races, And soon began to tell him
I
In my veins the current freezes; What it was that made me
And I stand and look upon you; Said the doctor, like a prophet:
I am raving, fainting, dying 1 O my son, you are but human,
Tbo' I dreamt my heart had won you, And your life will be the forfeit
I have only breath for sighing. If you do not leave this woman I
When I heard the doctor's sermon,

I replied, and him loudly:
told
I can never leave woman,
this
As for Death, 111 meet him proudly 1
Let her tell you, if she care to,
If a love were ever greater ;

I would sooner die, than dare to
Live and bear the name of traitor!
