Lyrics by Domenico Modungo sung by Ginerva Di Marco

Sole alla valle

e sole alla collina.

Per le campagne

non c’è più nessuno.

Ritornello:

Addio, addio amore,

io vado via.

Amara terra mia,

amara e bella…

Cieli infiniti

e volti come pietra.

Mani incallite ormai

senza speranza.

{Ritornello}

Tra gli uliveti è nata

già la luna.

Un bimbo piange,

allatta a un seno magro.

{Ritornello}

 

 

 

 

(English Translation)

 

Sunshine in the valley

And sunshine on the hill,

Over the open fields

There’s no one anymore.

Chorus:

Goodbye, goodbye love,

I’m leaving.

Bitter land of mine,

Bitter and beautiful…

Endless skies

And faces like stone,

Calloused hands now

Hopeless.

Chorus:

Goodbye, goodbye love,

I’m leaving.

Bitter land of mine,

Bitter and beautiful…

Among olive groves was born

Already the moon (shines as)

A child cries

Nursing on one thin breast.

Chorus:

Goodbye, goodbye love,

I’m leaving.

Bitter land of mine,

Bitter and beautiful…
