Versione inglese di Pierfrancesco La Mura
DIE AS AN OUTLAWAS BRIGANDS WE DIE
  
We laid aside our guitars and drumsWe put to rest our guitars and our drums
for this tune has to change now.Because this music has got to be changed
We are outlaws, fear is our tuneBrigands we are, and strike people with fear
and now we want to sing with guns,And with our guns we now wish to sing out
and now we want to sing with guns.And with our guns we now wish to sing out
  
So let's sing now this new songAnd now we are singing a sparking new song
that all you people are going to learn.And all the people must sing it along
Don't give a damn of the Bourbon king,Don't give a damn for the king of Bourbon
this is our land and nobody takes it,The land is ours and it's no one's to grab
this is our land and nobody takes it.The land is ours and it's no one's to grab
  
All the villages in BasilicataAll of the cities in Basilicata
are rising up and want to fight,Have woken up and they now want to fight
even Calabria is now insurgingEven Calabria now joined the revolt
and we're going to scare the enemy,And now our enemy quivers in fear
and we're going to scare the enemy.And now our enemy quivers in fear
  
You saw the wolf and got so scared,Who saw the wolf and was striken with terror
but you don't know the truth yet.Does not quite know where the truth really stands
The real wolf who eats childrenFor the true wolf who is devouring our children
is the Piedmontese so let's drive him awayIs from Piedmont and we must drive him out
is the Piedmontese so let's drive him awayIs from Piedmont and we must drive him out
  
All ye fair maidens who give your heartBeautiful women who give out your heart,
if you really want to save the outlawIf you do care to save the brigand's life
don't look for him, forget his name,Don't look for him, forget even his name
we're at war with a merciless enemy,Who makes us war has no mercy for us
we're at war with a merciless enemy.Who makes us war has no mercy for us
  
You were born as a man, you die as an outlaw,As men we are born, and as brigands we die
we'll shoot and fight up to the last.But till the end we must keep up the fight
And if we die, so bring us a flowerAnd if we die throw a flower for us
and an oath for our liberty,And throw a curse for this freedom of ours
and an oath for our liberty.And throw a curse for this freedom of ours
