Jade wrote asking for help with an Italian song from Toritto. Here’s her email:
Hey. Love your site. I was looking for a song my nonna used to sing to me as a child. She was from Toritto, a small town outside Bari. It’s in dialect. I’m probably going to butcher the spelling but this is what I remember.
Cre e fes
La pup a la fines
La gat e kitccene
Y a suc a la ballet.Today is a feast
The doll is in the window
The cat is in the kitchen
And the mice are dancing.
If anyone can help with this song, please comment below.
Thanks!
Mama Lisa

Jogge jì fèste e la püpe alla fenèste….
Una canzoncina nonsense per i bimbi che andavano alla “maestra”
Così ho trovato.
Jògge jì fèste
e la püpe alla fenèste
‘u sòrge abballe e la jatte cucjüne
cucjüne ‘i maccarüne
e zia mòneche ‘i cappuccjüne.
Oggi è festa, e la bambola sta affacciata alla finestra.
Il topo balla e la gatta cucina.
Cucina i maccheroni, e zia suora dei cappuccini.
