Il pescivendolo

The song does have a history. It is a version of one of the chants of the street sellers and beggars of Palermo. Matteo Salvatore is an excellent interpreter of these songs, a great folk singer, among other accomplishments.
It's too bad that language is such a barrier to appreciation of Salvatore's artistry.

Harmonia Mundi produced a cd some ten years ago with 14 of these songs by Matteo Salvatore:
"Chants de Mendiants en Italie," reissued as "Lamenti di Mendicante," thus still available. If it has lyrics included, I will post them. I have a copy packed away somewhere. Someone may have them handy so you may get it faster.
