Translation (''Do you remember?'')

Do you remember – my sweet Lucia
The first time – we talked to each other?...
It was the festival – f the sanctuaryof the Schirannetta...
We met – there on the parvis You wore a dress – all flowery...
To rush you – I pinched you...
You blushed – as I stared at you...
You slapped me – I got your slap... But your hand [] – was so pretty
That on my face – it never hurt...
We made peace – with a small apple,
Small fish, soda – and cotton candy... I bought you two hooves – with a bow on...
My word – you accepted it...
(I kept in stock – three cows in the byre)
And after Easter – we got married... Now you are old – my sweet Lucia,
And I am no longer able – to play the fool...
But when I see – the Schirannetta
I still hear the sounds – I used to hear as your valentine! {{Languages of Italy Western Lombard language
