Franco Corelli at Carnegie Hall - "A Vucchella"

Carnegie Hall Recital of Italian Songs, March 20, 1968
"A Vucchella" (Tosti / D'Annunzio)
Conductor: Anton Guadagno
Lyrics:
Sì, comm'a nu sciorillo
tu tiene na vucchella
nu poco pocorillo appassuliatella.
Meh, dammillo, dammillo,
è comm'a na rusella -
dammillo nu vasillo,
dammillo, Cannetella!

Dammillo e pigliatillo,
nu vaso piccerillo
comm'a chesta vucchella,
che pare na rusella
nu poco pocorillo appassuliatella.

A Sweet Mouth
Yes, like a little flower,
You have got a sweet mouth
A little bit withered.
Please give it to me
it's like a little rose.
Give me a little kiss,
give, Cannetella!

Give one and take one,
a kiss as little
as your mouth
which looks like a little rose.

From the Frank Hamilton Discography of Concerts & Recitals:
"The programme of the Carnegie Hall concert: "Traditional and romantic Italian Songs" is not a formal one indicating each selection in order, but rather presents a list of songs (each identified by Italian city rather than composer) from which songs for the concert would be selected. The programme also indicates the following orchestra selections:
Giuseppe Mulè: Liolà Sinfonia
Wolf-Ferrari: I quattrorusteghi Intermezzo
unknown: Fantasia napoletana"
