Sicilia Bedda

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.
