Fiamma Fumana

Tre Sorelle

Fiamma Fumana


We are three sisters from Campegine 
We are the prettiest, let us through 
Every day, all day long is good for singing 
We are the merriest, let us through 

Every Sunday we get ready for the feast 
Feast-time, let us through 
We dress up and put flowers in our hair 
Cherry-tree flowers, let us through 

In the village streets everybody is greeting us 
Feast-time, let us through 
Every young man in the village is courting us 
We dance with them all, but will take no-one 

In times of war our grandmother was a partisan 
Daughters of war, let us through 
In times of peace our grandmother went to the rice field 
Daughters of labour, let us through
