| LU ME SANGU | MY BLOOD |
| | |
| Lu me sangu, signuri, è pupulanu | My blood, good sirs, is common, |
| e lu me cori nun ci n'avi patruni | My heart knows no master, |
| me nannu pi sapillu era viddanu | My grandfather was a peasant |
| ma nun si scappiddò cu certarcuni, | But didn't tip his hat to certain folks, |
| la fami la cugghieva cu li manu | He gathered hunger with his hands |
| ma nun ci tuppuliò 'nta li purtuni, | But knocked not at the palace door, |
| di la me razza iu nun sugnu stranu | Not unaware of my heredity, |
| e cu nuddu mi mettu a ginucchiuni | I genuflect for no one. |
