THE DESCENT OF THE NEAPOLITANS AT THE SANCTUARY OF SAINT PAUL IN GALATINA

We came on foot from afar
We came on foot to dance
And throw this poison into our veins
And throw this poison, oh Saint Paul
We came on foot from afar
We came on foot to dance
Throw this poison into our veins
Throw this poison, Saint Paul

TARANTELLA OF SAINT PAUL
(traditional)

Where the tarantella pinched me
Under the shade of the vine

It pinched my foot, alas, I'm dying
It pinched my foot, alas, I'm dying

My Saint Paul of the tarantulas
Pinch the maidens in their hips

My Saint Paul of Galatina
Grant us a grace this morning

My Saint Paul of the tarantulas
Grant a grace to all
