Italian term

di latti la cammisa

Italian to English Art/Literary Music opera
Opera Cavalleria Rusticana:
I think this must be some dialect of Italian.
O Lola ch'ai di latti la cammisa
Si bianca e russa comu la cirasa,
Quannu t'affacci fai la vucca a risa,
Biato cui ti dà lu primu vasu!
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu è sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
