C'è un frutto rotondetto,

di farina ne ha un sacchetto;

se lo mangi non si lagna,

questo frutto è la castagna.

La castagna in acqua cotta

prende il nome di ballotta.

Arrostita e profumata,

prende il nome di bruciata.

Se la macino è farina:

dolce, fina, leggerina.

Se la impasto che ne faccio?

Un fragante castagnaccio!
