Sciummo [English translation]
Sciummo [English translation]
You're coming down
river, river, river
from the mountain
I'm coming down
with a misfortune
that befell me
and we're going, alas
love is a river that's lost in the sea
You're singing
knock, knock, knock
feller:
I know it
there isn't a mouth
more bloody.
And I'm going down, alas
whoever's lost love is looking for the sea
Bell
that sounds on top of this convent
listen
what a particular saint-like girl has done:
Yesterday, in my arms, she was fainting
tonight she kisses someone else and she boasts
Oh, how slowly and sad it sounds
a zampogna1 that's coming down
river, river, river
from the mountain
and we're going, alas
love is a river that's lost in the sea
and the heart rests at the bottom of the sea
My land
where I was born I'm bidding you farewell
I looking at you
there on the mountaintop alone and abandoned
and me shameful, shameful me I'm gone from it
I'm leaving you because love has left me
You're weeping
almost like a man who's grieving
and I'm going down
river, river, river
from the mountain
and we're going, alas
love is a river that's lost in the sea
and only the sea will let the love be forgotten
