We are four Piedmontese

We are all bandits

When the moon rides the mountains

We are ready to ride, too. 


At our first robbery

We took a cart

And within there was a lady

And we stole her money 


Then we went to the tavern

And ordered a bottle

But there was a spy in there

And he went to call the guards 


As soon as the guard got there

From the Lombardy regiment

He tied us four together

And brought us to Cremona 


He brought us to Cremona

Among the Cremonese

But we four, we are Piedmontese

So we were sentenced to twenty years
