'Carrettieri'
Calatu gi lu suli intra lu mari
Si stancu vestia mia, iu puru tantu
Li roti chianu chianu fa girari
A casa tu mi porti ed iu ti cantu
Lu suli naspressatu tuttu u jornu
Lu pruvulazzu quarnaravava 'ntornu
Scattare l 'a paglia e lu me pani
E avemu a cuminciari arr dumani
'The cart driver'
The sun has already set on the sea
You're tired, my beast, and so am I
You make the wheels turn slowly, slowly
You bring me home, and I sing to you
The sun is scorching all day long
The dust swirls all around
Hauling straw is how I earn my bread
And we have to start over again tomorrow
