Yes sir, it is sicilian. Couldn't be more sycilian than that. First, they sing in sicilian, not in italian. i don't get every word indeed. And then, you know that weird instrument you hear all the song long? You don't see it, starting from 0:22 until 0:36 and in the refrain again? That's tipically sicilian. It's called "scacciapensieri", which means "chasethoughtsaway". How did you find this folk song?

The song is very cute.
This instrument, I remember it from western movies. (ennio morricone - for a few dollars more)
Thanks for telling me the name..
