Original text and translations

Italian text Vecchie letrose, non valete niente Se non a far l'aguaito per la chiazza. Tira, tira, tir'alla mazza, Vecchie letrose, scannaros'e pazze!

English translation Spiteful old hags, you are good for nothing, Only for lying in wait in the thicket. Beat, beat, beat with your canes, Spiteful old hags, murderous and mad!

German translation Ihr alten Zankweiber seid zu nichts zu gebrauchen, außer dazu, auf der Piazza Streit anzufangen. Greift zum Nudelholz, ihr alten Zankweiber, streitsüchtig und verückt!
