Les Anarchistes - Sante Caserio

Lyrics:
Workers, these words are for you
Of this sorrowful song of mine
Which celebrates a bold and strong young man
Who for love of you challenged death

It shined in your pupils Caserio
The spark of the human peak
And to the working and crying people
You dedicated all your love and hope

You were in the prime of life
And you saw nothing but the endless night,
The night of pain and hunger
That towers over the immense and putrid human crowd

And you rose in painful act
To avenge a stranger's suffering
And you struggled, you so good and mild
To shake those tired and disheartened souls

The powerful shuddered at this proud act
And new treacherous plans were hatched in their minds
But the people to whom you gave yourself entirely
Did not understand you, and yet you didn't yield.

And your twenty-odd years one feral morning
You offered to the world from the guillotine
While your compassionate soul to the cowardly world
Cried out: "Viva l'Anarchia!"

Sleep Caserio in the cold soil
Where you'll hear the rumble of the final war.
