S.S. dei naufragati (original)S.S. dei naufragati (translation)
e venne dall’acqua, e venne dal sale and it came from the water, and it came from the salt
la penitenza dalla mano del mare penance from the hand of the sea
il comandante avanza e niente si puó fare the commander advances and nothing can be done
vuole una morte, la vuole affrontare he wants death, he wants to face it
e lí l’attandeva, dove il sole cala and there he was waiting for her, where the sun goes down
cala e non muore, e l’acqua non lo lava it drops and does not die, and the water does not wash it
e il demone lo duole, sui banchi d’acqua and the demon aches him, on the banks of water
stregati di olio e petrolio bewitched by oil and petroleum
e il vento non alzava, e il mare imputridiva and the wind did not rise, and the sea rotted
legati a un solo raggio, tutti presi in ostaggio tied to a single beam, all taken hostage
avanzavamo lenti, senza ammutinamenti we advanced slowly, without mutinies
e il comandante é pazzo, e avanza nel peccato and the commander is mad, and he advances in sin
e il demone ch'é suo, adesso vuole mio and the demon that belongs to him now wants mine
e brinda con il sangue all’odio ci convince, and toasts with blood to hatred convinces us,
che se é sua la barca che vince, dev’essere la mia that if it's his boat that wins, it must be mine
e gli occhi non videro, non videro la luce and the eyes did not see, did not see the light
non videro la messe, che altri non l’avesse they did not see the harvest, that others did not
e il cielo fece nero, e urló la nube al cielo and the sky turned black, and the cloud screamed to the sky
e s’affamó d’abisso, che tutti ci prendesse and he starved for the abyss, for everyone to take us
Matri mia, salvezza prendimi nell’anima My mother, salvation, take me into your soul
Matri mia, le ossa nell’acqua My matri, the bones in the water
anime bianche, anime salvate white souls, saved souls
anime venite, anime addolorate souls come, souls in pain
che io abbia due soldi, due soldi sopra gli occhi that I have two sous, two sous over my eyes
due soldi per l’onore, due monete in pegno two sous for honor, two coins as a pledge
per pagare il legno, la dura voga del traghettatore to pay for the wood, the hard rowing of the ferryman
e vieni occhi di fluoro, vieni al tuo lavoro and come fluorine eyes, come to your work
vieni spettro del tesoro come specter of treasure
la vela tende, il vento se la prende the sail tends, the wind takes it
la vela cade, le remi allontanate the sail falls, the oars removed
e accese sui pennoni and lit on the flagpoles
i fuochi fatui, i fuochi alati the will-o'-the-wisps, the winged fires
della Santissima dei naufragati of the Most Holy of the shipwrecked
Matri mia, salvezza prendimi nell’anima My mother, salvation, take me into your soul
il tempo stremava, l’arsura ci cuoceva the weather was exhausting, the heat cooked us
parlavamo alle vare e il silenzio dal mare we talked to the vare and the silence from the sea
e il legno cedeva all’acqua suo pianto and the wood gave way to its weeping water
la vela cadde, la sete ci asciugó the sail fell, the thirst dried us
acqua, acqua, acqua in ogni dove water, water, water everywhere
e nemmeno una goccia, nemmeno una goccia da bere and not a drop, not even a drop to drink
e gli uomini spegnevano, spegnevano il respiro and men put out, stifled their breath
spegnevano la voce, nel nome dell’odio they turned off their voices, in the name of hatred
che tutti ci appagó, il cielo rigó di sbarre il suo portale that satisfied us all, the sky streaked with bars its portal
il volto di fuoco, dentro imprigionó the face of fire, imprisoned inside
lo spettro vedemmo venire di lontano the ghost we saw coming from afar
venire per ghermire, nero di dannazione come to grab, black with damnation
vita e morte, vita e morte era il suo nome life and death, life and death was his name
Matri mia, salvezza prendimi nell’anima My mother, salvation, take me into your soul
Matri mia, salvezza prendimi My Matri, salvation take me
questa é la ballata di chi si é preso il mare this is the ballad of those who took to the sea
che lapide non abbia, ne ossa sulla sabbia what a tombstone he has, no bones in the sand
né polvere ritorni, ma bruci sui pennoni nor dust returns, but burns on the flagpoles
nei fuochi sacri, nei fuochi alati in the sacred fires, in the winged fires
della Santissima dei naufragati of the Most Holy of the shipwrecked
O Santissima dei naufragati vieni a noi che siamo andati O Most Holy of the shipwrecked, come to us who have gone
senza lacrime senza gloria, vieni a noi, perdon, pietá.without tears without glory, come to us, forgive us, have mercy.
