I don't know this song directly, (it's a southern Italy song: I know mostly center and north italy songs, and mostly political) but I can remember I read it on one of my junior school books. I'm very very verybusy now, but I'll try to find that book. Sorry, you'll probably have to wait till about the 20th of april, but maybe I'll be useful. Cicerinella means "piccolo cece" = "little chick-pea". See you (not very) soon.
