Vitti na crozza [English translation]

I saw a homeless person on top of a cannon,

I was curious and I wanted to ask.

She answered with great pain.

She died without a ring of a bell.

“My years, my years are gone.

My years, my years are gone and I don't know where.

Now when I am 80 years old,

I am calling death and it answered me:

“Make, make my bed

Because the worms will eat everything

If you don't repent in this life."

"I will repent in the next life with broken tears.”

There is a garden in the middle of the sea.

It is filled with oranges and flowers.

All the birds go to sing there,

Even the mermaids go to make love there.
