Leader / Chorus
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
e tiramul’ a rancata / e leva leva leva
e tiramul’ a rancata / e leva leva leva
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
Rispondimu a tutti vuci / e leva leva leva
Rispondimu a tutti vuci / e leva leva leva
Leva leva leva / leva leva leva (x2)
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
Assumamula di fundu / e leva leva leva
Assumamula di fundu / e leva leva leva
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
Facimu prestu c’arrivau / e leva leva leva
Facimu prestu c’arrivau / e leva leva leva
Leva leva leva / leva leva leva (x2)
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
‘Cola nitu mu rispundi / e leva leva leva
‘Cola nitu mu rispundi / e leva leva leva
U leva leva / e leva leva leva
Port’ a nava mu rispundi / e leva leva leva
Port’ a nava mu rispundi / e leva leva leva
