Appena appena ca sta la prima 
Just as soon as the first one is

goccia d?acqua su la frasca,
a drop of water on the branch,

Er pino apre l?ombrello e sotto:
The pine opens the umbrella and below:

Er calabbrone, er grillo, la lucertola, er fringuello.
The bumblebee, the cricket, the lizard, the finch.

Mentre er cipresso, solo, in un cantone,
While the cypress, alone, in a canton,

resta confuso co l?ombrello chiuso.
remains confused with the closed umbrella.
