Barbara Furtuna [English translation]

Oh Cruel Fortune, merciless destiny

To all of us it weakens the heart in our chest

To think about that past freedom.

And yet came the day, that fatal day

To abandon our pleasures for torments,

Oh God! how sad a day that was for me!

Good bye Corsica, so much beloved mother,

In separating from you without return,

Oh how much pain in my disconsolate soul
