- Description
Neapolitan (Sicilian) love song
She (Little Flower) sings how others describe her, the shape of her lips, like a little flower.
The Sicilian dialect might be called lazy Italian. Sounds and words are combined. This perhaps came from the curtailment of speech during times of oppression.
Sicilian is more liquid, more lovely, and more subtle than Italian. It is like Castillian Spanish, or one might say that French is merely mis-spelled Sicilian.
In Sicilian songs the Spanish influence is felt in the flow of the melodic line and especially in the ends of phrases.
