TRANSLATION:
SARDINIAN SONG
Dedicated to the disaster that happened in Messina, in Calabria and throughout Sicily in the nineteenth century and eight, the twenty-eighth of December at five and twenty in the morning.
Translated by Andrea Mura
FIRST CHORUS
Father redeemer of the highest power
All sinners must plead
We can tell you the hours of suffering
That Messina had to suffer
He has not even released her innocence
Of the creatures I must pray
Queen Mary of infinite mercy
This earthquake thinks to repair
1.
Think of repairing at all times
That you are defending the sky Queen
The twenty-eighth of December with what torment
What happened in Messina
In the nineteen and eight for fright
It looked like hell with that ruin
The poor people resting
A disaster too stormy had to endure
At five in the morning
For the dead of every family we pray
All of Sicily is scourged
2.
It had to start at that time
Every Christian moves just
You are ill-treated continent
I pity you Italian kingdom
Despair came all of a sudden
State destroyed, the Sicilian
Sovereign Father, or eternal God
For the love of Jesus
This terror cannot bear
For the dead etc.
3.
Not to bear this terror
Palermo and Catania with a sad lament
Through ships and vaporetti
They are leaving for Messina, they have heard
Catanzaro and Reggio Calabria in cry
Messina shows water, fire and wind
A strong feeling you suffer
You have to see these places
That the earthquake has destroyed
For the dead etc.
4.
He had to destroy with great wonder.
We embrace this fatal destiny
That has damaged all of Sicily
And the tidal wave has added to evil
If I knew the name of every family
I would express myself with all my heart
But the illustrious newspaper only tells me
The crying, the pain, the despair
That each person had to endure
For the dead etc.
5.
He had to endure every individual
Being late people were in bed
With their wife and husband children
Of the city of Messina nothing remains
Just saying it makes me cry
Boats, vaporetti are immediately on the road
The king and queen have given orders
They go to Messina with pain and anguish
To comfort those who have suffered harm
For the dead etc.
6.
To comfort them sad and gloomy
From Rome to Messina, Elena left
But the desire to see this thing passes
Because they found few survivors
Suddenly came the raging storm
With the tidal wave she has assailed the earth
And those who are of profession from all place
Show the water and fire of the volcano
Who took the life of a Christian
For the dead etc.
7.
To deprive the most worthy life
We can understand how much it cost
They make the best thing
All over the world has been telegraphed
When the news reached Sardinia
Every individual has been agitated
He destroyed churches and neighborhoods
Carabinieri, priests, soldiers
They left to never return
8.
Not to return to earthly life
Their sad families waiting
Weeping Vittorino and Queen Elena
And also Mother Margaret sighs
They all prepare to witness this scene
From Rome and Naples depart vaporetti
And the trains cross broken roads
Troops in fleet with commanders
It’s worth to be sorrowful
For the dead etc.
9.
There is to be sorrow it is right to specify
Of the dead so unlucky
All of Sicily and every country
Cities and ports are damaged
O loving Jesus of Paradise
What you command we all embrace
Dead found and many wounded
Even the children or death you outrage
They’re all being transported to the beach
For the dead etc.
10.
You see carry is a bad signal
What can I say bad misfortune
From every side comes staff
To save those who have remained under
The hospital is ready for the wounded
Frankly, Messina is destroyed.
You’re all broken, buildings and people
Cagliari excellent with the Campidano
A good helping hand wants to give you.
For the dead etc.
11.
To give you a good helping hand
The people of Sardinia are interested
The offer made by our Sovereign
And thanks to the gentlemen who give
To those who make the donation with a sincere heart
From house to house they go asking
They play soft music
Accompanied by the flag of mourning
Asking to send things from each Kingdom
For the dead etc.
12.
Sending things like I’ve heard
In this year ended in bitterness
And every people remains offended
That Elena was hurt.
The newspaper says it could be the fire
The gas burst for disaster
The strong storm with the tidal wave
Put together, it caused the shock
People and buildings have been devoured.
LAST CHORUS
Since this damage happened to us
Let us be patient, brothers I say
Nourishment and tents have brought
To repair the afflicted
So Messina is an unlucky place
Calabria and Sicily cry
Every Christian has lent
To do this good work
Cagliari, thank you, you are worthy and loved
You gave him stuff and money.
Heaven, sea and earth God created
And we must respect it
All creatures in danger
Enjoy eternal glory.
