Original text and translations

Neapolitan text 1 Madonna tu mi fai lo scorrucciato, che t'haggio fatto, che griffi la cera? Anima mia, questa 'n'è via de contentar 'st'affannato cuore. 2 Me par che m'habbi in tutto abbandonato, cha non t'afacci all'ora della sera. Anima mia ut supra 3 Va' figlia mia, che ci haggio indivinato, che saccio con chi giochi a covallera. Anima mia ut supra 4 Donna, caro mio ben, dolce signora, habbi pietà d'un chi te sola adora. Anima mia ut supra

English translation 1 Milady, you sulk with me, What I did to you, for you hold the grudge? Soul of mine, this is not the way to please this breathless heart. 2 It seems that you have deserted me at all for you don't look out the windows at the evening tide. Soul of mine, etc. 3 Come on, my little lamb, I got it, I know who you play hyde and seek with! Soul of mine, etc. 4 Madame, my darling, sweet lady, have mercy of someone who adores only you. Soul of mine, etc. Translation by Francesco Spiga
