You who now do not fear
Ignoring in the song that enchanting choir
That bursts into the mind and no matter how much you grind
Your arms now you can't do anything anymore

But if you relax and abandon your face
To a very long sleep
Oh my Pizzomunno you look at that mocking wave
That sinks your defenseless love
I will remain faithful to you for life
And if they were few, even another hundred years
So you will sweeten the deceptions of your sirens

Cristalda was beautiful and he from afar
Could still see her like this
With her hand outstretched
And maybe a tear dropped in the wind

It was just a moment
Then he disappeared offshore
And she at home singing, not even the suspicion
That meanwhile from below their revenge and their lament

Because poor thing they already had in their heart
The tense muscles of the handsome fisherman
And at his umpteenth refusal
One day he was punished

But I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Even if it's for a hundred years I will wait
Even if it's for a hundred years

And then from the sea they rose together to the beaches of Vieste
Evil sirens, someone saw them
Carrying Cristalda in chains to the bottom
And when the screams reached the sky
He really went crazy trying to save her
Because she was no more and that blinding anger stopped him forever

And so people have admired him since then
Giant of white limestone still waiting for his kidnapped love
And never returned

But I will wait for you
Even if it's for a hundred years I will wait
Even if it's for a hundred years I will wait
Even if it's for a hundred years

I will wait for you
Even if it's for a hundred years
It is said that now and it is not a legend
In an August dawn the beautiful Cristalda
Rises from the wave to live again
A wonderful story
