STA’ DIETA E ISCHIA CA’ NU RIESCE
 
M’hanna ditte e fa’ sta’ dieta ch’e’ tanta salutare
a matina cucinamme, e o jiuorne stamme a mare
miette a cuocere chistu pollo
senza e zzampe e senza cuollo
o dimane mangiamme o pesce
ma sta’ dieta ca’ nun me’ riesce
 
Po’ cu’ sta’ frutta e sta’ verdura
stamme quase a leva’ a paura
do’ colon e de’ prostate
ca’ stamme sempe preoccupate
 
Pollo e pesce, pollo e pesce
ma sta’ dieta ca’ nun me’ riesce
tengo na’ famme da morire
e nun pozze dimagrire
 
Pollo e pesce, pollo e pesce
un amico poi mi chiese:
comme maie a chistu’ paese
siete tutti sani e belli
e cu’ sti’ lucidi capelli ?
 
L’aggia rispuse: amico mio
chiste e nu’ grande dono e Dio
ma si’ po’ ce mettimme a dieta
cercamme e arriva’ a chesta’ meta
 
Ma alla fine si nun ce riesce
lasciamme o pollo e mangiamme pesce
e si’ po’ overamente vuo’ sta’ buono
na bella zuppa e baccala’ uoglie e limone
VIVA O STOCCO E U BACCALA’

THE ISCHIA DIET THAT WILL NOT WORK
 
I was told to try this diet, that is very healthy
In the morning we cook, day time to the beach
start to cook this chicken
with no legs and no neck
next day we eat fish
But this diet is not successful
 
Than with this fruits and this vegetables
we almost take out the worries
of the colon and prostate
that we are always worried
 
Chicken and fish, chicken and fish
but this diet its not successful
I’m hungry and starving to death
and I’m not loosing any weight
 
Chicken and fish, chicken and fish
a friend of mine asked me
how come in this town
you are all so healthy and pretty
and all with shiny hair?
 
I replied, my dear friend
this is a big gift from God
but if we put ourselves on the diet
and we try to reach our goals
 
But on the end if we don’t succeed
we stop eating chicken and eat fish
and if you really want to be healthier
a nice fish soup with cod fish, oil and lemon
VIVA O STOCCO AND BACCALA ‘
( Swedish dry and salted cod fish )
