TextFugite Gianni Baccoda L'Aquila, furone pi· tristo ch'un moscone. gridando "sacco, sacco!" Dice che F preposito di Santo Benedetto; ben torn'a preposito di far tanto dispetto a chi gli sta suggetto: d'un poltron far un uomo. Accurr'uomo, accurr'uomo. ch'e' va faccendo sacco. Vanne mie ballatella a que' sacri maestri de la musica bella. e di' che stien silvestri da' pirrati silvestri com'F questo fellone. Cacciate via el leccone che vuole empiere el sacco. TranslationKeep away from Gianni the boozer.from L'Aquila, the big thief more obnoxious than a gadfly. and shout: "Hold on to your bag!" He says he is the Provost of Saint Benedict; it would be really appropriate [for the Saint] to play such a trick on one who is under him: to turn a poltroon into a man. Help! Come to the rescue! He's filling his swag with loot. Go, little ballad of mine to those hallowed masters of beautiful music and tell them to stay clear from wild pirates like this felon. Throw out this lickerish glutton who wants to fill his swag. Text revision and translation © Giovanni Carsaniga |
