Il Tragico Naufragio Della Nave Sirio
Francesco De Gregori
The Tragic Shipwreck of the Sirio
From Genoa
They departed on the Sirio
To cross over to America
Crossing the borders
And on board
Singing could be heard
All cheerful
About their fate
The Sirio crashed
Into a horrible rock
The wretched end
For so many people
Fathers and mothers
Embracing their children
Who were disappearing
Among the waves of the sea
And among them
There was a bishop
Giving to all
His blessing
