Sicilia Bedda
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
vogghiu iucari cu 'dda funtanedda
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
m'ammanca assai curriri 'nda vanedda,
l'occhi d'immiria cianu sempri ammanciari,
ca a la terra voli 'u sangu sucari,
e a li sciacalli ca si fannu ragioni,
ca supra i templi fannu casi e casuni
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
Prena di focu ie di suffaredda
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
trasi 'ndo cori, nesci de vuredda,
nun pozzu iu pinsari ca' supra
lu strittu sarà,
na granni ummra ca lu mari oscurerà,
ca tutti i pisci mischineddi a panza all'aria e
l'occhi fora
aspettanu sulu ca quaccunu cchiù
nun mora
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
comu nu suli, comu na vastedda,
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
niautri a cantami cu' tantii sturnedda,
proverdi, frasi, cunti e miniminagghi
janu paroli comu tanti tenagghi
ca picca picca a genti i uora i vulissi capiri,
fossi stu schifu si putissi finiri
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
fammi tastari a duci nipitedda,
Sicilia bedda, Sicilia bedda,
spacca 'n limini ie dammi n'autra fedda
cu stu finali fazzu 'n votu ri curaggiu a mo' genti,
da Sarausa finu a chiazza di Girgenti
Avola, Noto, Palazzolo, Solarino e Pachino
Avemu 'n cori di speranza chinu chinu.
Beautiful Sicily
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
I want to play by that fountain
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
I miss running in the alley,
The eyes of envy always missing,
that want to suck the blood from the land,
and the jackals making deals,
that on the temples cause chaos and confusion
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
Full of fire and sulfur
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
It gets into your heart, born from anger,
I can't think that above
the street will be,
a great shadow that will darken the sea,
where all the fish belly up and
eyes out
just waiting for someone else to
not die
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
Like a sun, like a vastness,
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
we sing with so much anger,
proverbs, phrases, stories and whispers
they speak like so many tongues
that little by little the people would want to understand,
if this mess could ever end
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
let me taste the sweet little granddaughter,
Beautiful Sicily, Beautiful Sicily,
break the limits and give me another faith
with this ending I make a vow of courage to my people,
from Sarausa to the square of Girgenti
Avola, Noto, Palazzolo, Solarino and Pachino
We have a heart full of hope.
