La Mamma Di Rosina
I Girasoli
Rosina's Mother
Rosina's mother was jealous,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water,
with her black and white eyes,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water, she wouldn't send her.
One day she got up early and went to the mill,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
one day she got up early,
with her black and white eyes,
but found the miller asleep.
Wake up miller, it's daylight,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
wake up miller,
with your black and white eyes,
I have to grind this flour.
And since you've come, my Rosina,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
I want to grind you,
with your black and white eyes,
I want to grind you finely, finely.
And while the millstone was grinding,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
he held her close to his chest,
with his black and white eyes,
he held her close to his chest and kissed her.
Stay still, miller, with your hands,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
I have six brothers,
with your black and white eyes,
I have six brothers, they will kill you.
Rosina's mother was jealous,
bim bum bam, grab the knife, cut the salami,
Rosina love me, for pity's sake,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water,
with her black and white eyes,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water, she wouldn't send her.
She wouldn't even go to fetch water,
with her black and white eyes,
she wouldn't even go to fetch water, she wouldn't send her!
