"This piece is a Moresche, a genre of low-brow song sung from the perspective of a Moorish servant/slave. The genre could be seen as a very early incarnation of 19th-century minstrelsy, filled with racial caricatures and stereotypes of the time. The text, a mix of Neopolitan and Moorish nonsense words and dialect, reflects this. "Moor," as used in the translation, is a derogatory term, along the lines of similar racial epithets used in the United States."
