About this listen
There aren’t many Sicilian songs as famous as the one we’ll discuss in this episode. The song, titled “Vitti na Crozza” (I Saw a Skull), has a history that is both enigmatic and deeply connected to a classic film: “Il Cammino della Speranza” (Path of Hope) by Pietro Germi.
Here are the lyrics we’ll be translating in this episode:
Vitti na crozza supra nu cannuni
fui curiusu e ci vosi spiari
Idda m’arrispunnì cu gran duluri
murivi senza toccu di campani
Si ni eru si ni eru li me anni
si ni eru si ni eru un sacciu unni
ora ca su rivatu ad ottant’anni
lu vivu chiama e a morti ci arrispunni
Cunzatimi cunzatimi stu lettu
ca di li vermi su manciatu tuttu
si nun lu scuntu cca lu me difettu
lu scuntu a chidda vita a sangu ruttu
