(and he sings for a long time) Dale beve grillo canta. (Give him a drink so he can go on singing) Ma non fa come gli altri uccelli, (But he doesn`t do what the other birds do) come li han cantato un poco (Who after singing a little) van` de fatto in altro loco, (Just go elsewhere. ) sempre el grillo sta pur saldo (The cricket is always steadfast) Quando la maggior è [l`] caldo (When it is hottest, ) alhor canta sol per amore. (then he sings just for love) Source: http:/
