La Siciliana

E forte ed è gentile il mio amore,
quale un diamante fulgido e fatal.
Bene gli sta de l'armi lo splendore
e mai non trema il suo pugnal. 
Deh, fate largo che passa l'amor!
Largo, largo, lasciatelo passar!
Se c'è qualcuna che gli porta amor,
prendo il coltello e glielo pianto in cor.

by Volkslieder (Folksongs) , Sicilian
