A VUCCHELLA (Little Mouth)
(Francesco Paolo Tosti (m) Gabriele D'Annunzio (l) 1907)

as recorded by Mario Lanza
with orchestra conducted by Ray Sinatra
1951 (radio transcript)


Si, comm'a nu sciorillo,
Tu tiene na vucchella.
Nu poco pucurillo appassuliatella,
Meh, dammillo, dammillo

É comm'a na rusella;
Dammillo vasillo,
Dammillo, Cannetella!

Dammillo e pigliatillo,
Nu vaso piccerillo,
Nu vaso piccerillo comm'a chesta vucchella,
Che pare na rusella,
Nu poco pucurillo appassuliatella.

Sì, tu tiene 'a vucchella,
Nu poco pucurillo appassuliatella!
