Original text and translations

Italian text

Vendim' O donne belle st'insalate
  d'herbe salvagie tutte bon' e belle
     como son frescollelle st'insalate
     all' insalate ne faccio bon mercato,
     per no denaro venenchio lo sinato.

Ne havimo d'ogni sort' in veritate
   Delle mezane grosse e pecciarelle
       Come son frescolelle ...

Eng' immiscat' o donne un petrosino
   Che sempre tene le fronde novelle
       Come son ...

A fede chaverite un bon matino
   Se le provati queste lactucelle
       Come son frescolelle ...
