'0 Surdato 'Nnamurato

Here are the lyrics and the chords of the second song we from Camposampiero (Italy) performed at the concert in Dobele (Latvia): 'O Surdato 'Nnamurato (in English: The/A Soldier in Love)
The lyrics of this very well known Neapolitan popular song were written by the poet and song writer Aniello Califano; the music was composed by Enrico Cannio, a Neapolitan musician and composer.
'O Surdato 'Nnamurato was written in 1915, the year in which Italy entered the First World War when many young men from every region of Italy, from north to south, were enlisted and sent to the front on the north-east border.
The song gives voice to the sadness of a soldier longing for his beloved who is far away at home. The soldier always thinks of his woman and flies to her in his thought. In the refrain he says that she is life of his life and heart of his heart (Oje vita, oje vita mia, oje core ‘e chistu core) and assures her that she was his first, and will be his last, love (si stata ‘o primm' ammore e 'o primmo e ll'urdemo sarraje pe' me!).

MCP day in Vialonga (16.11.2011)

One day, we celebrated de Music Connecting People Day. It was fun and we delivered the message...

"Addio mia bella addio"

This is “Addio mia bella addio”, the first song we from Camposampiero (Italy) performed at the concert in Dobele (Latvia).
“Addio mia bella addio” (in English: “Adieu, my Beautiful One”) is a very famous song of the Italian Risorgimento (the 19th century movement for the unification of Italy).
It was composed in March 1848 in a café of Florence by Carlo Alberto Bosi, when a group of university students from Tuscany voluntarily left to go to fight against the Austrian Empire in the First War of Italian Independence.
In the song, the speaker tells his woman that everyone is leaving to go to fight for freedom and that not to join them would be cowardice. So he asks her not to cry: maybe he comes back, maybe he dies in battle and in that case he will meet her again in Heaven.
Here are the lyrics and chords of a recent version of this song performed at the Sanremo Music Festival (2011):

Do Sol7
Addio mia bella addio... che l'armata se ne va...
Fa Do Sol7 Do
e se non partissi anch'io sarebbe una vilta'.
Fa Do Sol7 Do
E se non partissi anch'io sarebbe una vilta'.


Do Sol7
Non pianger, mio tesoro: forse io ritornerò;
Fa Do Sol7 Do
ma se in battaglia io moro in ciel ti rivedrò.
Fa Do Sol7 Do
ma se in battaglia io moro in ciel ti rivedrò.


Re La7
Il sacco preparato sull'òmero mi sta;
Sol Re La7 Re
son uomo e son soldato: viva la libertà!
Sol Re La7 Re
son uomo e son soldato: viva la libertà!


Re La7
Io non ti lascio sola, ma mi lasci un figlio ancor:
Sol Re La7 Re
sarà lui che mi consola, il figlio dell'amor!
Sol Re La7 Re
sarà lui che mi consola, il figlio dell'amor!


Mi Si7
Addio mia bella addio... che l'armata se ne va...
La Mi Si7 Mi
e se non partissi anch'io sarebbe una vilta'.
La Mi Si7 Mi
E se non partissi anch'io sarebbe una vilta'.
