Canto Dei Sanfedisti

A lu suono de grancascia
Viva lu populo bascio
A lu suono de tamburrielli
So risurte li puverielli
A lu suono de campane
Viva viva li pupulane
A lu suono de viuline
Morte alli giacubbine
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
A sant′Eremo tanto forte
L hanno fatto comme a ricotta
A 'stu curnuto sbrevognato
L′hanno miso a mitria ncapa
Maistà chi t'ha traruto
Chistu stommaco chi ha avuto
E signure e cavaliere
Te vulevano priggiuniere
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Alli tridece de giugno
Sant'Antonio gluriuso
E signure sti birbante
E facettero o mazzo tanto
So′ venute li Francise
Aute tasse nce hanno mise
Liberté, egalité
Tu arrubbe a me
I arrobbo a ttè
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Li Francise so arrivate
Nce hanno bbuono carusate
E vualà e vualà
Cavece nculo alla libertà
A lu ponte a Maddalena
Onna Luisa è asciuta prena
E tre miedece che banno
Nun la ponno fa sgrava
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunzigli
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
A lu muolo senza guerra
Se tiraje l′albero nterra
Afferrajeno e giacubbine
E facettero na mappina
E fernuta l uguaglianza
È fernuta la libertà
Pe vuje sò dulure e panza
Signo jateve a cucca
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunziglie
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Sona sona
Sona Carmagnola
Sona li cunziglie
Viva o rre cu la famiglia
Passaje lu mese chiuvuso
Lu ventuso e l addiruso
A lu mese ca se mete
Hanno avuto l aglio arrete
Viva tata maccarone
Ca rispetta la religione
Giacubbine jate a mmare
Ca v'abbrucia lu panare

Song of the Sanfedisti

To the sound of the grancascia (a large drum)
Long live the common people
To the sound of the tambourines
The poor have risen again
To the sound of the bells
Long live the people
To the sound of the violins
Death to the Jacobins
Play, play
Play Carmagnola (a revolutionary song)
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
At Sant'Eremo, so strong
They made him like ricotta (cheese)
This horned cuckold
They put a miter on his head
Your Majesty, who has betrayed you
This stomach that he has had
And lords and knights
They wanted you as a prisoner
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
On the thirteenth of June
Saint Anthony the glorious
And lords, these scoundrels
And they did so much harm
The French have arrived
They have put high taxes on us
Liberté, égalité (liberty, equality)
You steal from me
I steal from you
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
The French have arrived
They have given us good caresses
And there you go, and there you go
Screw freedom
At the Maddalena bridge
Donna Luisa came out pregnant
And three doctors who try
They can't deliver her
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
At the pier without war
The tree was pulled to the ground
They grabbed the Jacobins
And they made a pile
And equality is over
Freedom is over
For you there are pains and belly
Gentlemen go to sleep
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils
Long live the king and his family
The rainy month passed
The windy and the rough one
In the month that sets
They got the garlic behind (a saying indicating failure)
Long live daddy macaroni (a derogatory term for Italians)
Who respects religion
Jacobins go to the sea
Because your breadbasket is burning
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play the councils (play, play)
Long live the king and his family (play Carmagnola)
Play, play (play the councils)
Play Carmagnola (long live the king and his family)
Play the councils (play, play)
Long live the king and his family (play, play)
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
Play, play
Play Carmagnola
