THE SARACENS (Amisano – Aversa)

The Saracens are here
They arrived, they are nearby
They took Cuneo and then Turin
Oh my God, what a fear what an anguish

The Saracens have arrived
Arrived the Saracens.
Hide your women and your children
Lock the doors of your houses and stay inside

The Saracens have arrived
They don’t eat pork
They don’t stand wine
They are here close to my window

The Saracens have arrived
They’re already ringing our bell
But we, honest people, won’t open to them.
