lyrics

Oi ninna ninna ninna ninna nanna
stu figlio ce vo' durmi' vo' fa' la nanna
Janne madonna e janne ti lu pigli
e purtalo passijanno a chistu figlio
E ninna ninna e ninna ninna vola
pi li campanelli di Santu Nicola
Santu Nicola e pe lu munno jeva
e tutte li criature l'addurmeva
E ninna ninna e ninna ninnarella
lu lupo s'ha magnato la pecurella
E ninna ninna e ninna ninna nanna
lu bene de li figli songo li mamme
E ninna ninna e quanto te voglio bene
se bene non te volevo io non te cantavo.

O lullaby,
This little boy wants to go to bed and sleep.
Come, Mary, pick up your son
and take him for a walk,
O lullaby, and pass by
the bells of St. Nicholas.
St. Nicholas goes all over the world
and puts all creatures to sleep.
O, lullaby,
the wolf ate the little sheep,
O lullaby,
and mothers are the grace of their children.
O lullaby, how much I adore you,
and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t sing you this lullaby
