La nostra è una lunga strada di sassi irta:
Gli speroni di Monto ci hanno Salvato, ed il braccio di Vistro è rimasto scoglio per le grotte post più in alto del mare, che erode questa terra antica. Since semper che siamo pesciolini as soli si procurano il boccone by godere la vita libera del gabbiano, oppressi dalla pioggia di Ponente e di Levante come olivi senza Innesti. Fra queste insenature è stata la nostra salvezza, come si i Riboni Salvano dal delfino fra le tane della secca di San Damiano; il nostro pane, nato tra le grotte, è stato Benedetto col sudore nell'aia ribollente Palu di ... ed abbiamo camminato per una strada lunga dissestata, che oggi Rimane Spianate dai nostri passivated.
Our path is littered with stones and long;
We have stored seeds of Monto, and the arm of Vistro stayed stone for the caves that lie above the sea, which erodes this ancient land. We have always been fish, who gave a bite to give a free life to the seagulls. Suppresses the rain of West and East as olives without refining. Behind these inputs is our refuge, as the Riboni to save himself from the dolphins between the dry nests of San Damiano; our bread was made in the caves and blessed as the cooking Sud on the farm of Palu ... and we went on a long bumpy road, which is now paved by our steps.
