Ballata campestre per nino martino brigante


A la campagna è lu felici stari

A la campagna cu' Ninu Martinu,

Chi teni la so genti a larreali

Vistita di damascu e pannu finu.

E pani iancu 'nci duna a mangiari

Lu cumpanaggiu sempri du cchiù finu,

'Mbiviri non li lassa a li funtani

Chi appressu porta l'utri di lu vinu.

Un iornu 'nci 'ncuntrau n'ogghialaru

"Scarrica l'ogghiu" - 'nci dissi Martinu -

E l'ogghialaru si misi a chiangiri

"Pirdia l'ogghiu, poviru mischinu".

Ma lu zzì Ninu ch'è n'omu leali

Iapriu la burza e 'nci dessi nu zzicchinu,

E l'ogghialaru si misi a ballari

Lu fici lu negozziu 'sta matina.

'Nc'era a un paisi 'nu ladru assassinu

Chi ogni genti tenia 'nt'allattiru

"Ora l'aggiustu eu" - dissi Martinu ?

"Subitu 'nci li conzu li custumi".

Quandu si vitti davanti a Martinu

Ddhu delinquenti si misi a trimari

"Si mi sarbati a vita zzì Antuninu,

Vi dugnu 'nu minzeddhu di denari".

"Tu prima mi chiamavi orbu cani,

Ora prirchì mi chiami zzì Antuninu?

Li to paroli su paroli vani,

Fuiri non 'nci poi cu' lu zzì Ninu.

A la muntagna ti vogghiu purtari

Cusì ti 'mpendu a n'arbiru di pinu

Cu' lu cumpagnu mi menti a sparari

Virimu cu è chi spara lu cchiù finu.
