Spazzacamino, spazzacamino!
Ho freddo, ho fame, son poverino:
in riva al lago, ove son nato,
ho la mia mamma abbandonato.
Come l'augello che lascia il nido,
per guadagnarmi qualche quattrin:
E tutto il giorno vo' attorno, e grido:
"Spazzacamino, spazzacamin".
Torino è grande, ma il paesello
ove son nato mi par più bello,
e sempre, sempre vado col core
in riva al nostro Lago Maggiore.
E dico intanto: "Nel casolare
la mamma mia che mai farà?
Sarà seduta al focolare,
oppure le reti aggiusterà?"
Non ho nessuno che mi vuol bene,
e che s?affligga delle mie pene:
ho gli occhi foschi, la faccia oscura,
ai fanciulletti metto paura.
Si, poveretto, si, brutto io sono,
perfin la mamma dice al bambin:
"Se d'ora innanzi non sarai buono,
Chiamerò il nero spazzacamin!"
Se ho sete, bevo dell'acqua pura,
se ho fame mangio pan di mistura
e vo soffiando sopra le dita
quando la mano ho intirizzita.
Con le mie scarpe che sono rotte
ho nella neve da camminar,
e con un soldo per ogni notte,
ho un po' di paglia per riposar.
E quando, al sorgere del bel mattino,
ascolto il gemito del passerino
Che par cantando, onori Iddio,
allor mi sveglio, Lo prego anch'io.
Prego che presto m'arrivi il giorno
che al mio paese posso tornar:
veder la mamma, saltarle attorno,
metterle in mano tanti quattrin.
Ma se, arrivato, mi si facesse
incontro alcuno e mi dicesse:
"Prendi, fanciullo, questo sentiero
che ti conduce al cimitero:
ove la terra appena smossa
non ha un fil d'erba, un fiorellin,
v?è la tua mamma, spazzacamin".
Oh, allor saria per te finita
la tua vita spazzacamin!
