    Lyrics
    For "REGINELLA CAMPAGNOLA"
    Canzone caratteristica di Di Lazzaro - Bruno

    All'alba quando spunta il sole
    là nell'Abruzzo tutto in fior
    le prosperose campagnole
    discendono le valli in fior.

    O campagnola bella,
    tu sei la reginella,
    negli occhi tuoi c'è il sole
    c'è il colore delle viole,
    delle valli tutte in fior.
    Se canti, la tua voce
    è un'armonia di pace
    che si diffonde e dice:
    "Se vuoi vivere felice
    devi vivere quassù".

    Quand'è la festa del paesello
    con la sua cesta se ne va
    trotterellando l'asinello
    la porta verso la città.

    O campagnola bella,
    tu sei la reginella,
    negli occhi tuoi c'è il sole
    c'è il colore delle viole,
    delle valli tutte in fior.
    Se canti, la tua voce
    è un'armonia di pace
    che si diffonde e dice:
    "Se vuoi vivere felice
    devi vivere quassù".

    Ma poi la sera al tramontare
    con le sue amiche se ne va
    è tutta intenta a raccontare
    quel che ha veduto là in città.

    O campagnola bella,
    tu sei la reginella,
    negli occhi tuoi c'è il sole
    c'è il colore delle viole,
    delle valli tutte in fior.
    Se canti, la tua voce
    è un'armonia di pace
    che si diffonde e dice:
    "Se vuoi vivere felice
    devi vivere quassù".
