Faceva il palo nella banda dell'Ortica,
ma l’era sguercio, el ghe vedeva quasi pù:
e l’è staa inscì che i hann ciapaa senza fadiga,
i hann ciapaa tutt, ma propi tutt, foeura che lù.
Lui era fisso che scrutava nella notte
quand gh’è passaa davanti a lù on carabinier,
insòmma on ghisa, trii carriba e on metronotte,
gnanca una piega lú l'ha fà, gnanca un plissé.
Faceva il palo della banda dell'Ortiga,
faceva il palo perché l'era el sò mestee.
Così, precisi come quei della Mascherpa,
hinn restaa lì i sò amis, a vedè i carabinier,
han detto: « Ma come, porco giuda,
mondo cane: il nostro palo, brutta bestia, ma indove l’è ? ».
Lui era fisso che scrutava nella notte,
ha visto nulla, ma in compens l'ha sentì nient,
perché a vederci non vedeva un'autobotte
però a sentirci ghe sentiva un accident.
Faceva il palo della banda dell'Ortiga,
faceva il palo perché l'era el sò mestee
Ci sono stati pugni, spari, grida e botte,
li han menà via ch'era già mo' quasi mezzdì.
Lui sempre fisso, lì, a scrutare nella notte,
perché el ghe vedeva istess de nòtt come ‘n del dì
Ed è li ancora come un palo nella via,
la gente guarda, el ghe dà cent lira e poeu la va;
lui, circospetto, guarda in giro e mette via,
ma poi borbotta, perché ormai l'è un po' incazzaa.
Ed è arrabbiato con la banda dell'Ortica
perché lui dice: « Non si fa così a rubar ».
Dice: « Ma come, a me mi lascian qui di fuori
e loro, loro chissà quand'è che vengon su;
e poi il bottino me lo portano su a cento lire:
un pò per volta, ma a far così non finiamo più.
No, no, quest chì è pròpi un lavorà de stupid,
io sono un palo, non un bamba, non ci sto più;
io vengo via da questa banda di sbarbati,
mi metto in proprio, così non ci penso più ».
Faceva il palo della banda dell'Ortiga,
faceva il palo perché l'era el sò mestee.
