Translation of the song lyrics Sicilia antica - Marcella Bella

Sicilia antica (original)

Tra mare e fiori
Sei nata tu Terra d’amore
Non morirai mai
Campi di grano
Bruciati dal sole
Dove lasciai il primo amore
Sicilia antica
Del mio cuore
Quante ricchezze
Qua tieni tu.
Facce indurite (dal sole)
Occhi impietosi
Ma nel cuore
C’e' tanto calore
E' la mia gente
Che canta per niente
E la fatica
Li felici.
Sicilia antica
Del mio cuore
Quante ricchezze
Qua tieni tu Tra mare e sole
Nacqui io Figlia di terra
Non (ci) sei piu'
Mille vicoli
Mi tornano in mente
Dovo ho lasciato
I ricordi piu' belli
Sicilia antica
Del mio cuore
Quante ricchezze
Qua tieni tu.
Sicilia antica
Terra di sale («di difficolt?"per l’epoca)
Come l’amore
Non torni piu'

Sicilia antica (translation)

Between sea and flowers
You were born Land of love
You will never die
Wheat fields
Burned by the sun
Where I left my first love
Ancient Sicily
Of my heart
How many riches
Here you keep it.
Hardened faces (from the sun)
Merciless eyes
But in the heart
There is a lot of heat
They are my people
Who sings for nothing
And the fatigue
Happy them.
Ancient Sicily
Of my heart
How many riches
Here you hold Between sea and sun
I was born Daughter of the earth
You're gone'
A thousand alleys
They come back to me
Dovo I left
The best memories
Ancient Sicily
Of my heart
How many riches
Here you keep it.
Ancient Sicily
Salt land ("difficult" for the time)
Like love
Do not you come back anymore'
