Sacco et Vanzetti
Ennio Morricone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's to you, Nicolas and Bart,
Rest forever here in my heart,
The last and final moments is yours
That agony is your triumph
Rest forever here in my heart,
The last and final moments is yours
That agony is your triumph
Ennio Morricone's song Sacco et Vanzetti is a tribute to two Italian anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who were executed in 1927 in the US after being convicted of robbery and murder. However, their trial was widely regarded as unfair and politically motivated due to their radical beliefs and immigrant status. Many believed that they were punished for their political beliefs rather than their actual crimes.
The lyrics convey a sense of admiration and respect for Sacco and Vanzetti, who remained committed to their principles and beliefs until their last breath. The line "Here's to you, Nicolas and Bart" is a toast to their memory and legacy, while "Rest forever here in my heart" suggests that their spirit and influence will live on.

Here's to you, Nicolas and Bart,
Let us raise a toast to Nicolas and Bart,

These are the lyrics:
Maintenant, Nicolas et Bart
Vous dormez au fond de nos coeurs
Vous étiez tous seuls dans la mort
Mais, par elle, vous vaincrez
Now Nicolas and Bart
You sleep in the depths of our hearts
You were all alone in death
But, through it, you will conquer

Hier, par cette grève, je parlais fort…
Je proteste encore au nom de la vie, contre la mort.
Trop de larmes inutiles Sacco et Vanzetti Lettre de Nicolas Sacco
à son fils
" Charlestown, 18 Août 1927,
Mon fils, mon compagnon,
Je veux t'écrire avant que nous partions
A la Maison de la mort car le 22, après minuit,
Vers la chaise électrique on nous poussera…
Pourtant, me voici empli d'amour
Et cœur ouvert, aujourd'hui comme hier.
Si j'ai cessé la grève de la faim, l'autre jour,
C'est parce que la vint coulé,
Comme celle de ta mère,
Pour rien, pendant sept an
Emmène-là marcher, longtemps ; alors ne pleure pas,
Sois fort et tu pourras la réconforter…
Et si tu voulais lui faire oublier
Sa solitude sans colère,,
Dans la campagne…
Et à l'ombre des bois fais-là reposer…
Écoutez la musique du ruisseau qui murmure
Et la paix tranquille de la Nature…
Dans ta course vers le bonheur,
Arrête-toi, mon fils, cherche l'horizon :
Aide les faibles, les victimes et les persécutés,
Car toujours ils seront tes meilleurs amis.
Comme ton père et Bartolo, ils luttent
Et tombent pour tous et pour la liberté…
Au combat de la vie, tu trouveras l'amour
Et tu seras aimé : c'est ton droit aussi…
Faites comprendre au monde
Que rien n'est terminé :
On ne peut tuer nos corps,
Mais jamais nos idées.
C'est tout le Massachusetts
Qui portera dans l'avenir la honte de ce temps.
Qu'une école remplace enfin cette maison,
Que des rires d'enfants effacent les prisons.
N'oublie pas de m'aimer un peu
Comme je t'aime, oh petit homme ;
J'espère que ta mère t'aidera à comprendre
Ces mots que je te donne… Adieu mon garçon.
Je t'envoie le salut de Bartolo.
Ton père et ton camarade,
Nicola Sacco "

Maintenant Nicolas et Bart
Vous dormez au fond de nos cœurs
Vous étiez tous seuls dans la mort
Mais par elle vous vaincrez !
Here's to you Nicolas and Bart
Rest forever here in our hearts
The last and final moment is yours
That agony is your triumph !
Canto aqui Nicola e Bart
Vuestro fin y vuestra prison
El morit os dié libertad
Y un lugar en mi corazon.
Canto asi a Nicola e Bart
A quien odia la escalvitud
A quien sabe amar la verdad
Canto fuerte "Libertadi"
Was auch kommt, Nicola und Bart
Ihr habt euch in uns aufbewahrt!
Euren Tod, den sterben wir mit
Und wir siegen Schritt für Schritt
