My Bitter Land

Domenico Modugno

Amara Terra Mia

Sole alla valle
E sole alla colli-i-na
Per le campagne
Non c'e' piu' nessuno
Addio addio amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e be-e-e-e-lla

Cieli infiniti
E volti come pie-e-tra
Mani incallite ormai
Senza speranza
Addio addio amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e be-e-e-e-lla

Fra gli uliveti e' nata
Gia' la lu-u-na
Un bimbo piange
Allatta un seno magro
Addio addio amore
Io vado via
Amara terra mia
Amara e be-e-e-e-lla

My Bitter Land

Sun in the valley
And sun on the hill
Through the countryside
There's no one left
Goodbye goodbye my love
I'm leaving
My bitter land
Bitter and be-e-e-eautiful

Endless skies
And faces like sto-o-one
Calloused hands now
Without hope
Goodbye goodbye my love
I'm leaving
My bitter land
Bitter and be-e-e-eautiful

Among the olive trees
The moon has already ri-i-isen
A baby cries
Nursed by a thin breast
Goodbye goodbye my love
I'm leaving
My bitter land
Bitter and be-e-e-eautiful
