Dialect Poetry of Southern Italy (Italian Poetry in Translation Book 2)

Iā€™m feeling very, very glum
my soul hurts,so do my gums,
I feel dizzy, my head hums.
Here comes a king riding a goat
one eye is sound the other glass
(does he want to help me or kill me?)
An earthquake rages inside my heart
(the sea lunges and turns to sweat!)
(Translation by Luigi Bonaffini)
