O   STERNUTO   

Maronna ch’aquazzone

Ca’ cade stammatina

m’aggia n’fuse o cazone

a capa e scarpe e cazettini

Comme me scorre o naso

e st’uocchie se fanne russe

aggia correre a casa

pe’ cagnnia’ sti’ panne anfuse

Me senghe na freva n’guolle

cu’ st’acqua c’aggia avuto

se sturzellate o cuolle

e mo’ arrivene e sternute

e-cchiunghe e-cchiunghe eccia’

che catarro ca’ mo’ aggia avute

io steve bello ggia’

ce’ vulevane pure e sternute.

THE  SNEEZE  

Madonna ! what a rain storm 

is coming down this morning

my pants is all wet also

my head my shoes and socks

Ho, how my nose is dripping

and my eyes are turning red

I’ve got to run home

to change these wet clothes

I feel a fever coming down

with the rain that came down on me

my neck  is beginning to stiffen

nd now here comes the sneezes

Et-choonge, et- choonge, et- chaa

what bad cold I just got 

I was already pretty sick

I really didn’t need the sneezes too
