Cicerenella
My Cicerenella, you are good and beautiful!
Cicerenella had a garden
and watered it with water and wine...
But then watered it without a bucket...
This is Cicerenella's garden...
Cicerenella had a cat
that was blind and quite disheveled...
She dragged it by the tail...
This is Cicerenella's cat...
Cicerenella had a rooster
and all night long she rode it...
Then she rode it without a saddle...
And this is Cicerenella's rooster...
Cicerenella had a donkey
and she made a nice hood for it...
But it had neither bones nor skin...
This is Cicerenella's donkey...
Cicerenella had a hen
that laid eggs in the evening and morning...
She had taught it to eat crumbs...
This is Cicerenella's hen...
Cicerenella had a feather
and all night long it was lit...
And she lit it with a lantern...
This is Cicerenella's feather...
Cicerenella had a spinning wheel:
she put it on top and took it off...
And there was no flax and cinnamon...
This is Cicerenella's spinning wheel...
Cicerenella had a shed
and she put horse and carriage in it...
And she put her little dream in it...
This is Cicerenella's shed...
Cicerenella had a pan,
she fried eggs with mozzarella...
and fried them with saffron...
This is Cicerenella's pan...
My Cicerenella, you are good and beautiful
