Can Anyone Help Translate a Sicilian Nursery Rhyme called "Pulcinedda"?
November 13th, 2011
I received this email from Pat Tudisco Donovan:
My mother taught me this as a child.
Pulcinedda
Edda spingula spingulun
Edda Napoli e cuttun
Cuzza pizza di cuted
Nesci fuora Pulicined
Can anyone please help with a translation?
Thanks in advance!
Mama Lisa

I found that “spingula” is some kind of pin or brooch
“cuttun” is cotton
nesci fora (not “fuora”) = go outside
I really don’t know for sure if that’s correct though.
Thanks for trying Monique!
