(English)
Cust' e' su babbu,
cust' e' su fizzu,
cust' e' su porcu,
cust' e' su chi d'a mortu,
impari si danti pappau,
e a su pietiededdu non di d'anti donau!
This is the father,
This is the son,
This is the pig,
This is the one who killed it,
Together they ate it,
And to the little one they gave nothing!
Notes
Another version:
Custu est su procu
Custu dd'at mortu
Custu dd'at abruschiau
Custu si dd'est papau
E a custu pipiu no ndi dd'anti lassau.
English Translation
This one is the pig,
This one killed it,
This one roasted it,
This one ate it
And to this baby they didn't leave any.
