Sicilia Bedda...Beautiful Sicily...sung by the great Operatic Tenor Roberto Alagna, who is Sicilian by descent if French by nationality.
Translation:
I'm a Sicilian and I'm in America,
I left my land to find work,
With that work- I made money,
But in truth, I think of Sicily...
Beautiful Sicily, my Sicily,
I think of you always, I'm homesick,
And some day, my Sicily,
I'll come back to you and never leave you again...
To see your gardens in bloom,
Bathed in golden sunlight,
To hear the harps sing,
That is my wish...
Beautiful Sicily, my Sicily,
I think of you always, I'm homesick,
And some day, my Sicily,
I'll come back to you and never leave you again...
Here in America there are many riches,
But I think of my Sicily,
If I close my eyes, with my imagination,
It feels like I'm really there...
Beautiful Sicily, my Sicily,
And some day, my Sicily,
I'll come back to you and never leave you again...
I always think of you, my Sicily,
and some day, my Sicily,
I'll come back to you and never leave again..

Gods luck with that. In the dance of the Taranta there is not touching of any kind. The Woman bitted by the spider in order to overcome the poison must dance until she collapse, can't be touched or Stopped otherwise she'll dies . So my people say.

Pistoia, Toscana-Cantamaggio. Some young women for a change on this one.

Grecanico music of Calabria (the still Greek dialect speaking ones).
These people are so familiar to me. You can hear them speaking starting at about 2 minutes in. The dancing becomes more complex around 4 minutes in. It's all about the rhythm. There are onscreen Italian subtitles.
