Lyrics:
Sole alla valle e sole alla collina
Nelle campagne non c’è più nessuno
Addio addio amore, Io vado via
Amara terra mia, amara e bella

Cieli infiniti e volti come pietra
Mani incallite ormai senza speranza
Addio addio amore, Io vado via
Amara terra mia, amara e bella

Tra gli uliveti, nata gi la luna
Un bimbo piange, allatta un seno magro
Addio addio amore, Io vado via
Amara terra mia, amara e bella


Sun over the valley, sun over the hill,
In the fields there is no one anymore.
Farewell, farewell my love, I go away,
My bitter land, bitter and beautiful.

Endless skies and faces like stones,
Calloused hands, by now without any hope.
Farewell, farewell my love, I go away,
My bitter land, bitter and beautiful.

Between the olive groves has already risen the moon,
A babe cries and is breastfed by a withered breast.
Farewell, farewell my love, I go away,
My bitter land, bitter and beautiful
