Here's one sent to me by Larry Vellani, a good singer from Mebane, North Carolina.
Maggio di Maresca (May in Maresca)
Al ritornar del maggio Dileguasi ogni nembo La terra nel suo grembo C’invita a cantar Ogni anno coi cantici O maggio bramato Sarai salutato Da mille cantor Non più spogliata e tacita La selva e la foresta Passata è la tempesta Dei venti il furor Ogni anno coi cantici O maggio bramato Sarai salutato Da mille cantor
... English ...
When May returns Every cloud has disappeared From deep within her womb The earth beckons us to sing Each year with songs Oh long awaited May You will be greeted By a thousand voices No longer denuded and silent The forest and glade The roaring winds and furious storms Have passed Each year with songs Oh long awaited May You will be greeted By a thousand voices
I can't figure out what that arrow is in the lyrics...
