Màkari [English translation]

You know how many times

i would like to go away

from this land

of devils and saints

but Màkari is home,

it is joy and pain

this is my land

Land of wise men

and land of fools

people who take their hearts

and give them away

Whoever comes to Sicily

cries twice

Màkari is my home

This is the story

a little curious

a little grumpy

that speaks of love

for the traditions,

for my roots

but Màkari is home

and the heart sings for you

Sing louder

but do it in silence

because no one here

hears and sees us

but Màkari is home,

is joy and pain

I don’t forget Màkari

i don’t forget, i don’t forget anymore.

This is the story

a little curious

a little grumpy

that speaks of love

for the traditions,

for my roots

but Màkari is home

and the heart sings for you
