Vado à partir l’esiglio in pianti amari
Navigo disperata disperata i sordid mari,
L’aria che d’ora in ora riceverà i miei fiati
Gli porterà il nome del cor mio
A veder à baciar le patrie mura
Et io
Starò solinga
Alternando le mosse ai pianti, ai passi
Insegnando pietade ai freddi sassi
Remigate, remigate, remigate
Oggi mai perverse genti
Allontanarmi, allontanarmi
Dà dà dà gl’amati lidi
Ahi, ahi, ahi sacrilego duolo,
Tù tù tù m’interdici il pianto
Quando lascio la Patria
Interdici il pianto quando lascio la Patria
Ne stilar una lacrima poss’io
Mentre dico ai Parenti è à Roma
Ne stilar una una lacrima poss’io
Mentre dico ai Parenti è à Roma
A Dio.
Farewell, Rome
Farewell my homeland, my friends o God, farewell friends.
I am leaving for exile in bitter tears.
I will navigate desperately across the deaf seas
The winds that from time to time receive my breath, brings the name of my heart, to see and to kiss the walls of my homeland.
And I will remain alone
shifting my moves between tears and walking.
Teaching the cold stone to have mercy
Row, row, row today, you perfidious men. Take me away, take me away
From my beloved shores
Ah, ah, ah sacrilegious pain when I leave my home you forbid me to weep
you forbid the tears when I leave my home,
not even a tear may fall when I say to my family and to Rome
not even a tear may fall when I say to my family and to Rome
farewell.
Prologue
Hidden in darkness
a voice awaits the moment of its first entrance.
An utterance,
disturbing and yet expected.
Bring light to the room,
changing direction of thought,
breaking silence.
Place in under a blanket.
Offered as a victime to the Gods.
words will come out of a mouth
raw, trembling and hestitant.
a... a... a Dio Roma.
