[1977]
Nell’EP “Nant'a u solcu di a storia”

Nant'a u solcu di a storia
In e cellule di francesi
Ci sò Corsi incatenati
Luntanu da li paesi
Privi soli addisperati
Per avè pensatu corsu si sò trovi incarcerati.
Per avè pensatu corsu si sò trovi incarcerati.

S'ell'ùn hè corsu lu sangue
Noi ne simu la cagione
U ministru di l'internu
Forse mi darà ragione
Ellu ci vulia mette per sempre lu cavizzone.
Ellu ci vulia mette per sempre lu cavizzone.

Curaghju li mio fratelli
Ch'ell'ùn vi scappi la fede
A sperenza hè una surgente
Chì face stancià la sete
Hè una forza divina chì face francà le rete.
Hè una forza divina chì face francà le rete.

Ma ùn site micca soli
À mez'à sti quattru muri
Un populu v'accumpagna
Ne pudete esse sicuri
Quellu di li veri corsi ch'anu sappiutu stà puri.
Quellu di li veri corsi ch'anu sappiutu stà puri.

Versione inglese di E.T.
In the cells of the French
There are Corsicans in chains
Far away from their villages
Deprived, alone, desperate
For having thought Corsican, they were imprisoned
For having thought Corsican, they were imprisoned

If blood has been spilt
We are not the reason
The minister of the interior
Might agree with me
He wanted to rein us in forever*
He wanted to rein us in forever

Courage, my brothers
Let not faith escape you
Hope is a spring
The quenches thirst
It is a divine force that breaks the fences
It is a divine force that breaks the fences

But you are not actually alone
Between these four walls
A nation accompanies you
You can be certain of it
That of the real Corsicans that have managed to stay pure.
That of the real Corsicans that have managed to stay pure.
* Lit: He wanted to put a cavesson (a type of horse’s bridle) on us forever
