La sagra di Giarabub (1940) (original)La sagra di Giarabub (1940) (translation)
Inchiodata sul palmeto Nailed to the palm grove
veglia immobile la luna the moon watches motionless
a cavallo della luna astride the moon
sta l’antico minareto stands the ancient minaret
Squilli, macchine, bandiere, Rings, cars, flags,
scoppi, sangue!bang, blood!
Dimmi tu, You tell me,
che succede, cammelliere? what's up, camel driver?
??
la sagra di Giarabub! the Giarabub festival!
Colonnello, non voglio il pane, Colonel, I don't want bread,
dammi il piombo del mio moschetto! give me the lead of my musket!
C'?There?
la terra del mio sacchetto the land of my bag
che per oggi mi baster?. that for today will be enough for me ?.
Colonnello, non voglio l’acqua, Colonel, I don't want water,
dammi il fuoco distruggitore! give me the destroying fire!
Con il sangue di questo cuore With the blood of this heart
La mia sete si spegner?. My thirst will quench.
Colonnello, non voglio il cambio, Colonel, I don't want the change,
qui nessuno ritorna indietro! here no one goes back!
Non si cede neppure un metro, Not even a meter is given up,
se la morte non passer?. if death will not pass.
Spunta gi?Check already?
l’erba novella the new grass
dove il sangue scese a rivi. where the blood streamed down.
Quei fantasmi, sentinella, Those ghosts, sentinel,
sono morti o sono vivi? are they dead or are they alive?
E chi parla a noi vicino? And who is talking to us near?
Cammelliere, non sei tu! Camel driver, it's not you!
In ginocchio, pellegrino, On your knees, pilgrim,
son le voci di Giarabub! are the voices of Giarabub!
Colonnello, non voglio il pane, Colonel, I don't want bread,
dammi il piombo pel mio moschetto! give me the lead for my musket!
C'?There?
la terra del mio sacchetto the land of my bag
che per oggi mi baster?. that for today will be enough for me ?.
Colonnello, non voglio l’acqua, Colonel, I don't want water,
dammi il fuoco distruggitore! give me the destroying fire!
Con il sangue di questo cuore With the blood of this heart
La mia sette si spegner?. My seven will go out.
Colonnello, non voglio il cambio, Colonel, I don't want the change,
qui nessuno ritorna indietro! here no one goes back!
Non si cede neppure un metro, Not even a meter is given up,
se la morte non passer?. if death will not pass.
Colonnello, non voglio encomi Colonel, I don't want praise
sono morto per la mia terra I died for my land
ma la fine dell’Inghilterra but the end of England
Incomincia da Giarabub! Start with Giarabub!
