Translation of the song Lu me sceccu artist Italian Folk

Lu sciccareddu natu

A donkey born

di razza fattignola

of a very good breed

Ma iera un gran mpiccatu

But it was such a pity

n'aviri la parola

that he couldn't speak

Uora n'tantu muriu

Now it's dead

ie arristai in croci

and I felt so bad1

cu la sa bedda voci

with its beautiful voice

Scurdari non si pò

It cannot be forgotten

Iu l'aiu comu un armoniu

I have it like a melody

sta vuci n'tra l'aricchia

this voice inside my ears

picchì era na musica

because it was such a music

ca megghiu non ci n'à

that there's no (one) better
