In e cellule di francesiIn the cells of the French
Ci sò Corsi incatenatiThere are Corsicans in chains
Luntanu da li paesiFar away from their villages
Privi soli addisperatiDeprived, alone, desperate
Per avè pensatu corsu si sò trovi incarcerati.For having thought Corsican, they were imprisoned

Noi ne simu la cagioneWe are not the reason

Curaghju li mio fratelliCourage, my brothers
Ch'ell'ùn vi scappi la fedeLet not faith escape you
A sperenza hè una surgenteHope is a spring
Chì face stancià la seteThe quenches thirst

Ma ùn site micca soliBut you are not actually alone
À mez'à sti quattru muriBetween these four walls
Un populu v'accumpagnaA nation accompanies you
Ne pudete esse sicuriYou can be certain of it
Quellu di li veri corsi ch'anu sappiutu stà puri.That of the real Corsicans that have managed to stay pure.
