The full sea rolls and thunders

Language: English

Our translations: ITA

The full sea rolls and thunders
In glory and in glee.
O, bury me not in the senseless earth
But in the living sea!

Ay, bury me where it surges
A thousand miles from shore,
And in its brotherly unrest
I'll range for evermore.

Si agita e rimbomba il vasto mare

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English

Si agita e rimbomba il vasto mare
In gloria e con gioia.
Non seppellitemi nella terra inanimata
Ma nel mare che vive!
 
Seppellitemi dove sono alte le onde
A mille miglia dalla riva,
e  nel  loro fraterno agitarsi
potrò vagare  per sempre.
