Original text and translations

Neapolitan text

Voria, crudel, tornare
Pianellett'e poi stare,
Sott'assi piedi ma se lo sapissi,
Per stratiarme corrend'andarissi.

Voria, crudel, tornare
Citrangolo e poi stare,
Alla fenestra ma se lo sapissi,
Per darmi morte seccar mi farissi.

Ahimè, non so che fare,
Specchio voria tornare,
Sol per mirarte ma si lo sapissi,
A qualche vecchia brutta mi darissi.

Meglio saria tornare
Ghiaccio per non brusciare,
A così forte ma si lo sapissi,
Coss'occhi ardenti pur lo disfarrissi.
