As with most popular marchigiani<\/em> (from Le Marche) songs, the origin of the words, the name of the original song writer, and the date of composition are unknown. The songs have been passed down from one generation to the next, with frequent changes and variations. As the title suggests, this is a song originally intended for a couple dance. The “star” of the dance is a large handkerchief, a typical costume accessory for men and women of Le Marche, which is always kept in the hands of the pairs of dancers.<\/p>\n The original text of the song consists of eight stanzas, although there are many variations, as often happens with oral tradition. There are two characters in the song: a father (played by a solo male voice or a group of male voices) and his young daughter (played by a solo female voice or a group of female voices). The two voices alternate throughout the song, in a playful repart\u00e9e.<\/p>\n Since dancing is a means of taking one\u2019s place in society or in the local community, the father insists that his daughter go to the dance in the piazza. (Fija mia voi veni al ballo?<\/em> = My daughter, are you going to the dance?) But each time, the young lady refuses because she doesn\u2019t have the proper clothes or accessories needed to make up the typical marchigiano<\/em> costume. (Babbu mio non vengo no<\/em> = Dear Father, I\u2019m not going) In this version of the song, first she does not have the shoes (Ch\u00e8 le scarpette non ce l\u2019ho<\/em>), then the underwear (le mutande<\/em>), then the apron (lu panellu<\/em>), blouse (la camicia<\/em>), vest (lu bustu<\/em>), the dress (lo vestito<\/em>), the earrings (li pendenti<\/em>) and the handkerchief (il fazzoletto<\/em>), with one of these accessories requested by the young lady in each verse. The father, wanting to see his daughter dancing, concedes each time to make her happy.<\/p>\n \u201cHa il fazzoletto la fija mia.:<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ci scusiamo.
