Franceschina la Calitrana

Vinicio Capossela (born 14 December 1965) is an Italian singer-songwriter. His style is strongly influenced by US singer and songwriter Tom Waits (Capossela repeatedly recorded his songs with the help of Waits' guitarist, Marc Ribot), though it also draws from the traditions of Italian folk music (especially those of Irpinia, the part of Campania where his family moved from in the 1950s). Capossela's lyrics are highly original and are often inspired by literary sources such as John Fante, Geoffrey Chaucer, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others. Capossela was born in Hannover (Germany) from Italian parents, and moved very early to Campania. He has been living in Milan since 1987. more »

A Franceschina la calitrana
La vanno cercando I carbinieri
Senza collana e senza sottana
Ah quante mosse che sapeva far

Alla stazione di Ruvo-Rapone
Si era fermata la piattina
E Franceschina la calitrana
Tutte le mosse aveva fatto già

Sotto il ponte di cinque luci
Si sentiva suonare la banda
E Franceschina aveva perso i comandi
S’era abbracciata con il capo cantiere
E l’assistente e l’ingegnere
I manovali mo che stanno a fa'

Alla stazione di Rocchetta
La comandavano con la bacchetta
E Franceschina la calitrana,
Alzava polvere nel cantiere
E l’assistente e l’ingegnere
I manovali stanno sempre là

China China cuore della mamma
Chi te l’ha messa questa collana in ‘ganna
Forse è stato il primo amore
Ma il secondo è più bello ancor
Forse è stato il primo amore
Capocantiere ora pensaci tu

Forse è stato il primo amore
Capocantiere ora pensaci tu
