SINDBAD IL MARINAIO	SINDBAD THE SAILOR

Nel cannello d'avorio del mio narghilé	Through my ivory hookah hose
vanno e vengono galee	the galleons come and go
le ciurme fanno gli arrembaggi	the crews attempt raids to ships
e i pirati tracannano vino	and the pirates get drunk
nella bettola del porto	in port's tavern.

Mare mare amaro	Sea bitter sea,
perché ti dovrei amare?	why should I fell in love with you?

Saraceni e Veneziani	Saracens and Venetians
catturano e legano all'albero	arrest and tie on the mast
me in persona il capitan Yannis	me, the famous Captain John
il valoroso il ribelle	the brave man, the rebel,
il possente uomo del mare	the big man of the seas.

Mare mare amaro	Sea bitter sea,
perché ti dovrei amare?	why should I fell in love with you?

E lì nel fuoco del macello	And when the fighting gets hot
prendo a morsi le funi le sciolgo	I bite the ropes and untie them
e per San Costantino	and for St Constantine sake
li scaglio tutti nella vampa	I put them all in the fire
con le mani legate al dorso	tied with their hands in the back.

Mare mare amaro	Sea bitter sea,
come posso non amarti ?	How I could not love you?
