Sicilia bedda (Live From Versailles, France / 2011)

Iu sugnu n′sicilianu e staiu a America!
Lassai la terra mia pi travagghiari!
Mi fici cu travagghiu li dinari
Ma pensu a la Sicilia in verita.
Sicilia bedda! Sicilia mia!
Ti pensu sempi cu nustaligia,
E qualchi jornu, Sicilia mia,
Vengnu n'di tia i nun partiri cchiu!
Pi viriri i to giardini in ciuri,
Vistutti tutti d′oru di lu suli!
Pi sentiri cantari i marazzani...
Lu desideriu miu e questu cca!
Sicilia bedda! Sicilia mia!
Ti pensu sempi cu nustaligia,
E qualchi jornu, Sicilia mia,
Vengnu n'di tia i nun partiri cchiu!
Ci su tanti ricchizzi n'da sta America!
Pero iu pensu a la Sicilia mia.
Su chiuru l′occhi, cu la fantasia,
Mi pari ca iu sugnu propriu dda!
Sicilia bedda! Sicilia mia!
E qualchi jornu, Sicilia mia,
Vengnu n′di tia i nun partiri cchiu!
Ti pensu sempi Sicilia mia!
E qualchi jornu, Sicilia mia,
Vengnu n'di tia i nun partiri cchiu!

Sicilia bedda (Live From Versailles, France / 2011)

I am a Sicilian, but I am in America!
I left my land to work!
I earned money with my hard work
But truth be told, I think of Sicily.
Beautiful Sicily! My Sicily!
I always think of you with nostalgia,
And one day, my Sicily,
I will come to you and never leave again.
To see your gardens in bloom,
Bathed in golden sunlight!
To hear the nightingales sing...
This is my heart's desire!
Beautiful Sicily! My Sicily!
I always think of you with nostalgia,
And one day, my Sicily,
I will come to you and never leave again!
There is so much wealth in this America!
But I think of my Sicily.
I close my eyes, and in my imagination,
I seem to be right there!
Beautiful Sicily! My Sicily!
And one day, my Sicily,
I will come to you and never leave again!
I always think of you, my Sicily!
And one day, my Sicily,
I will come to you and never leave again!
