Rhyme of "Gaetano Pappagone"
Chitarrata d'ammore
Nannina tene 'o core 'nfus' 'o ffele,
nun fa 'na cosa si nun me fa male.
Pure pe cchesto 'a voglio bene assaje
ca nun m' 'a putarraggio maje scurdà.
'A cunuscette dinto primmavera
quanno 'o solo è lucente comme a ll'oro
e comme a ll'oro dint'a ll'uocchie tene
'na luce ca te struje e te pò cecà!
Si m'hadda da' 'nu vaso sulamente
me 'o dà cu 'nu mussillo amaro e astrinto
ca me turmenta e nun me sazia maje
j'e desiderio me fa spantecà!
Tene 'e capille nire e anelle anelle...
'na faccia delicata 'e madunnella,
ll'uocchie curvine e 'na vocca 'e curallo
ca 'n'ata eguale nun se pò truvà.
Capisco quanno dice 'na buscìa
e quanno pe' dispietto è 'nfama assaje,
ma è tanta 'a frennesia 'e vulerle bene
ca si m'accide bene me farrà!
Comme te dà 'na gioia te dà 'na pena,
e sape vulé male e vulé bene.
Ma si doce te guarda e t'accarezza
te dà 'o calore d' 'a felicità.
Si sulo m'hadda di' ca me vò bene
primma m' 'o ddice e doppo m'avvelena
cu 'nu dispietto o pure nu' capriccio
ca 'o core me fa chiagnere e penà.
E' 'ntussecosa, sì, ma quanno dice
"Te voglio bene"... allora so' felice.
Allora 'a gioia me trase 'int' a 'stu core
pure si nun ha ditto 'a verità.
E' tanto capricciosa ca 'nu sciore
'e vvote 'a fa felice... e pe' 'nu mare
'e bene e de ricchezze è indifferente
e 'o core te fa strujere e 'mpazzì.
Ma quanno 'a tengo stretta 'int'a 'sti bbracce
e ca me vasa e m'accarezza 'a faccia...
nun ce stanno puntiglie né capricce
che 'a dint' 'o core m' 'a ponno levà!

On hearing this, the gossip goes. First, however, warns him: If you will also miss this opportunity, he will no longer know where and who to contact. It seems that everything is for the better, if at some point some people come into the store, very well dressed.

Re-enter the godfather John. Raffaele treats him to fish in the face, dangling in his face ten thousand pounds given to him by business Fioretti. John does not understand the reason for the refusal and when Amalia tries to explain everything, is suddenly interrupted by Raffaele. Eventually John, offended and humiliated, he decided that Raffaele is a madman, a patient and that never again will affect his troubles. Released appear yelling, Fioretti looks at his watch. It's late: she has an appointment with Ambassador of Spain to a dinner. So out, accompanied by his brother and the secretary. Raphael and Amalia are happy: their troubles seem to be finally finished. Re-enter Luigi, who takes over the business five thousand pounds, and said to Raphael how things really are: Alfredo Fioretti is really crazy, the last descendant of a very wealthy family who fancies himself a great musician. Those who were presented as Luigi Gargiulo Fioretti and Attilio are actually the two nurses who accompany him in his daily walk. Alfredo always does: he's crazy, and "should be pitied." As for money, it was only paper. Luigi apologized for the inconvenience arrecatogli and leaves as if nothing had happened. Raffaele E and then Amalia returned to live in utter misery.
