America America
[Italian Folklore] America-America (1875)
From Italy we departed
We departed with our honor
Thirty-six days by car and steam,
and in America we arrived.
America, America, America,
what will this America be?
America, America, America,
a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
And in America we arrived
we found neither straw nor hay
We slept on the bare ground
like beasts we went to rest.
America, America, America,
what will this America be?
America, America, America,
a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
And America is long and wide,
it is surrounded by mountains and plains,
and with the industry of our Italians
we have formed towns and cities.
America, America, America,
what will this America be?
America, America, America,
a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
America, America, America,
what will this America be?
America, America, America,
a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
