Gittate gli arcolai. i naspi con le rocche; non siate sciocche che cuscia nessuna! - - Ors·, ors· - Ad una ad una per le man si pigliaro; tutte cantando a un fiume andaro. - A l'acqua! a l'acqua! - Chi a' granchi pesca chi gitta a' pesci l'esca. Poi su per l'onde corron al mulino. - O mugnaio, o mugnaio. pesami costei. pesa anche lei. - - Questa pesa cento. e quella ben dugento. - - Tu se' una grassa. che ti vegna fracassa! - - E tu se' tisicuccia. che ti criepi la buccia! - - O fanciulle, o fanciulle. a casa ritorniano. - Salendo al monte scontrano un villano. gridando: - piglia, piglia, al ladro, al ladro! o Lapino, o Vanello, o Ceccherello! - - Che F, che F? - - Il lupo se ne va col mio agnello - A quel romore ristrette fugiron inver me le giovinette. che se apparito foss'el lupo, forse presa era tal da me ch'a me ricorse. Translation"Get up, girls!" "What are we to do?""One never saw such fine weather. Throw away your winders. your hasps and distaffs; don't be foolish. No one must sew. Come now." One by one. each took the other by the hand. and all, singing, went to the river. "To the water, to the water!" One looks for crabs. another throws bait to the fish. Then, along the stream they run to the mill. "Miller, o miller. weigh this one. weigh her too." "This one weighs a hundred. and that one a good two hundred." "You're a fat one. may you go pop!" "And you are thin as a rake. may your skin go wrinkly!" "Girls, girls. let's go home." Going up the hill, they come across a peasant crying: "Catch the thief! catch the thief. o Lapino, o Vanello, o Ceccherello!" "What's the matter with you?" "The wolf is decamping with my lamb." Frightened by that noise the girls all rushed towards me. so that, had the wolf really appeared. I would have caught the one who turned to me for help.
