Garibaldi Blues - Renato Sellani Trio, Bruno Lauzi

Garibaldi fu ferito

Fu ferito ad una gamba

Garibaldi che comanda

Che comanda i suoi solda'

Per Garibaldi: viva!

Garibaldi che si ferì…

Garibaldi aveva un socio

Si chiamava Nino Bixio

Venne giù da Busto Arsizio

E nei mille si arruolò

Per Nino Bixio: viva!

Nino Bixio che si arruolò…

(Strofa regionale:)

Giunsero a Calatafimi

E incontrarono i francesi

Che rimasero sorpresi

Dal furor degl’isolan

Per la trinacria: viva!

La trinacria, terra del sud…

Garibaldi amava Anita

Ch’era la sua preferita

Ma l’amore durò poco

Perché un giorno Anita morì

E per Anita: amen!

Per Anita che morì…

E arrivarono a Teano

E si strinsero la mano

Gli altri stavano a guardare

Sventolando il tricolor

E per l’Italia: viva!

Per l’Italia dell’unità!

E per l’Italia: viva!

Per l’Italia dell’unità…

E per l’Italia: viva!

Per l’Italia dell’unità!

E per l’Italia: viva!

Per l’Italia dell’unità…

Garibaldi was wounded

He was wounded in the leg

Garibaldi who commands

Who commands his soldiers of him '

For Garibaldi: alive!

Garibaldi who was injured ...

Garibaldi had a partner

He was called Nino Bixio

He came down from Busto Arsizio

And in the thousand he enlisted

For Nino Bixio: alive!

Nino Bixio who enlisted ...

(Regional verse :)

They reached Calatafimi

And they met the French

They were surprised

From the fury of the island

For the trinacria: alive!

Trinacria, land of the south ...

Garibaldi loved Anita

Which was her favorite

But the love did not last long

Because one day Anita died

And for Anita: amen!

For Anita who died ...

And they arrived in Teano

And they shook hands

The others were watching

Waving the tricolor

And for Italy: alive!

For Italy of unity!

And for Italy: alive!

For the Italy of unity ...

And for Italy: alive!

For Italy of unity!

And for Italy: alive!

For the Italy of unity ...
