Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli - LA SCERTA (The Choice)

Sta accusì. La padrona cor padrone, br Volenno marità la padroncina br Je portonno davanti una matina, br Pe sceje, du' bravissime perzone. br br Un de li dua aveva una ventina br D'anni, e du' spalle peggio de Sanzone; br E l'antro lo diceveno un riccone br Ma aveva un po' la testa cennerina. br br Subbito er giuvinotto de quer paro br Se fece avanti a dì: "Sora Lucia, br Chi volete de noi? parlate chiaro". br br "Pe dilla, me piacete voi e lui", br Rispose la zitella; "e ppijerìa br Er cicio vostro e li quadrini sui". br br br English br br This is how it went. My master and mistress, br Wishing to have their daughter married br One morning brought in front of her br Two very respectable persons to choose. br br One of the two was about twenty br Years old, and had shoulders wider than Samson's; br While the other one was known as a rich man br But had a few grey hair. br br Immediately the young man of the couple br Started saying: "Miss Lucy, br Who of us do you want? speak frankly". br br "Really, I like both of you", br Answered the girl [1] ; "and I would take br Your tool [2] and his money".
