There is a pond in front of the gate.
Water is flowing out
Birds are coming to bathe
Magpies are playing with lotus flowers
Girls are coming to wash the cloth.
Boys are threshing flour.
Take a look. Three times.
Working on the stone.

Recuerdo aquella tarde Cuando nos conocimos Tú estabas de blanco Y tu aroma impregnó Todos mis sentidos.
No podía hablarte Me daba escalofríos Pues tu hermosura A cualquiera intimida Hasta al más atrevido.
Pero de repente Se cruzaron las miradas Y hablamos como dos niños Enamorados Día tras día tu voz me ilusionaba Y me enamoraba. Y cuando nos besamos, No puedo negarte Que me encantan tus labios.
Todo era perfecto Todo era divertido Hasta que un día Decidimos alejarnos Porque nuestro amor, Era prohibido.

Tum, bi-tum, bi-tum, si balla la tarantella.
Si celebran le nozze come in Sicilia,
con tutte le comari a “mucatori” ??, i maschi quasi tutti, portano la coppola,
C'è vino, salam, prosciutto e ricotta
La mamma di Rosa si commuove e piange,
perché a sua bambina lontana sarà,
il padre un po brillo canta troppo forte
presto un nipotino in casa arriverà Français
