Translation of the song lyrics Garibaldi Blues - Renato Sellani Trio, Bruno Lauzi

Garibaldi Blues (original)

Garibaldi fu ferito
Fu ferito ad una gamba
Garibaldi che comanda
Che comanda i suoi solda'
Per Garibaldi: viva!
Garibaldi che si ferì…
Garibaldi aveva un socio
Si chiamava Nino Bixio
Venne giù da Busto Arsizio
E nei mille si arruolò
Per Nino Bixio: viva!
Nino Bixio che si arruolò…
(Strofa regionale:)
Giunsero a Calatafimi
E incontrarono i francesi
Che rimasero sorpresi
Dal furor degl’isolan
Per la trinacria: viva!
La trinacria, terra del sud…
Garibaldi amava Anita
Ch’era la sua preferita
Ma l’amore durò poco
Perché un giorno Anita morì
E per Anita: amen!
Per Anita che morì…
E arrivarono a Teano
E si strinsero la mano
Gli altri stavano a guardare
Sventolando il tricolor
E per l’Italia: viva!
Per l’Italia dell’unità!
E per l’Italia: viva!
Per l’Italia dell’unità…
E per l’Italia: viva!
Per l’Italia dell’unità!
E per l’Italia: viva!
Per l’Italia dell’unità…

Garibaldi Blues (translation)

Garibaldi was wounded
He was wounded in the leg
Garibaldi who commands
Who commands his soldiers of him '
For Garibaldi: alive!
Garibaldi who was injured ...
Garibaldi had a partner
He was called Nino Bixio
He came down from Busto Arsizio
And in the thousand he enlisted
For Nino Bixio: alive!
Nino Bixio who enlisted ...
(Regional verse :)
They reached Calatafimi
And they met the French
They were surprised
From the fury of the island
For the trinacria: alive!
Trinacria, land of the south ...
Garibaldi loved Anita
Which was her favorite
But the love did not last long
Because one day Anita died
And for Anita: amen!
For Anita who died ...
And they arrived in Teano
And they shook hands
The others were watching
Waving the tricolor
And for Italy: alive!
For Italy of unity!
And for Italy: alive!
For the Italy of unity ...
And for Italy: alive!
For Italy of unity!
And for Italy: alive!
For the Italy of unity ...
