Il Tragico Naufragio Della Nave Sirio

From Genoa
They departed on the Sirio
To cross over to America
Crossing the borders

And on board
Singing could be heard
All cheerful
About their fate

The Sirio crashed
Into a horrible rock
The wretched end
For so many people

Fathers and mothers
Embracing their children
Who were disappearing
Among the waves of the sea

And among them
There was a bishop
Giving to all
His blessing
