Filugnana

English translation

The Spinner

Putaiola chi no tinni

The pruner doesn’t use

no la tratta putadori;

shears that don’t cut;

cand'è calatu lu soli

when the sun has set,

tand'è ora d'andacinni.

then for us it's time to leave.

Ancora se' filugnana

You’re still a spinner1

com'e cand'eri minori,

like when you were young,

ancora se' furacori

you’re still a heartbreaker

com'e cand'eri ‘agghjana.

like when you were a maiden.

Sospiri di lu me cori

Sighs from my heart,

in cambiu meu andeti

go in my place

e fideli visiteti

and faithfully visit

l'unic'oghjettu d'amori.

the only object of my love.

Ancora se' filugnana

You’re still a spinner

com'e cand'eri minori,

like when you were young,

ancora se' furacori

you’re still a heartbreaker

com'e cand'eri ‘agghjana.

like when you were a maiden.

Ancora se' furacori

You’re still a heartbreaker

com'e cand'eri ‘agghjana.

like when you were a maiden.
