This song tells of the joyful anticipation of the donkey for Saint Lucy during the magical night. The child speaks to the donkey and invites it to pass by his house. He has prepared some milk and eagerly awaits it, hoping for a visit from Saint Lucy. With her, the donkey will bring gifts filled with kindness. The child promises a biscuit to the kind and courageous donkey before he trots off to other homes. It is a sweet and tender song about the generosity and magic of Saint Lucy's night.
Asinello di Santa Lucia
vuoi passar da casa mia?
Io ti ho preparato il latte
e ti aspetto in questa notte!
E con te Santa Lucia
entrerà in casa mia
e i suoi doni donerà
a me, pieno di bontà!
Io ti aspetto mio asinello,
tanto buono e tanto bello,
vieni a prendere un biscotto
per poi ripartire al trotto.
