Who is the artist of the Italian Song Mi Pizzica?

Question

I used to have this song on tape years ago from my grandparents and now I wanna get a disc with the song but I cant find it on web searches.

I have no Italian skill but I'll attempt to write out some lyrics please excuse my horrible spelling.

Mi pizzica mi bootsica ma najolo pizzica sum pizzi ge lamode mada lum bunda marley

....yes i know its bad

I think it might translate to she pinches me she bites me.


The title of the song I listed may not be the actual title of the song as thats just the refrain.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The song it's an old Italian folk song edited in different dialects and title is "ME PIZZICA,ME MOZZICA".

The most famous version has been recorded in 1971 by an Italian actor Nino Manfredi (died June 4th,2004) in the dialect of Ciociaria,not that far from Rome.

This is the refrain, not that distant from yours......!!!

"Me pizzica, me mozzica
mannaggia lu pizzicà
sò pizzichi d'amore
bella non fanno male..."
