Carrettieri
Calatu è già lu suli intra lu mari
Si stancu bestia mia,e iu ti cantu
Li roti chianu chianu fa girari
A casa tu mi porti ed iu ti cantu
Lu suli è na bruciatu tuttu u giornu
Lu pruvulu na suffucatu ma 'ntornu
Scattare là paglia fa lu me pani
E lavemu accuminciari arré dumani
  lavemu accumenciare are dumani
   amuninni. amuninni..

The cart driver
The sun has already set on the sea
You're tired, my beast,and so am I
The wheels you turn slowly, slowly
You take me home so to you I sing
The sun scorched us all day long
The dust suffocated us but I don't turn around
Hauling stuff I earn my bread
We start all over again tomorrow
  start again tomorrow
   let's go let's go home
