If my feeling is correct in "porta li mele a spalla allu paiese" though "a spalla" means "on her shoulders" it's more about the way she carries them than where they are but I couldn't render that into English, it wasn't rendered in French either. If it were just about the location it'd be "sulle spalle" however they may say that in dialect. Just a feeling.
Searching if it could be said "sulli spalle" in dialect since it's "li mele", I came across that pdf doc where the lyrics can be found with Fr. and Eng. translations (#14), the lyrics were written (not collected) by Matteo Salvatore (1925-2005) (= there's a copyright). They give "town" for "allu paese".
