Original lyrics
Paghjella di l'impiccati
Sè vo ghjunghjite in Niolu
ci viderete un cunventu,
di u tempu u tagliolu
ùn ci n'hà sguassatu pientu.
Eranu una sessantina
chjosi in pettu à lu spaventu.
Dopu stati straziati
da i boia, o chì macellu!
Parechji funu impiccati,
ci n'era unu zitellu
l'anu tuttu sfragellatu
è di rota è di u cultellu.
Oghje chì ghjè oghje in Corscia
fateci casu una cria
si pate sempre d'angoscia
intesu di Marcu Maria.
Era quessu u su nome,
mancu quindeci anni avia.

Translation
Le chant des pendus
Si vous passez par le Niolu
Vous y verrez un couvent
Les pleurs qui encore l'entourent
N'ont pu être effacés par le temps.
Ils étaient près de soixante,
Pris au cœur de l'épouvante.
Après avoir été torturés
Par les bourreaux, quel massacre !
Plusieurs furent pendus.
Il en était un tout jeune.
Son corps fut mis en lambeaux
Par la roue, par le couteau.
Aujourd'hui encore en Corse
Si vous y prêtez attention
L'angoisse est encore palpable
A la seule évocation de son nom.
Cet enfant s'appelait Marcu Maria.
Il n'avait même pas quinze ans.

Niolu is a region in northern Corsica.
Corsica proclaimed its independence from the Republic of Genoa in 1755. After a few years Genoa sold the island to France, but the people rose up and there was a long resistance against the new invaders.
In 1774 more than 50 Corsicans were arrested in Niolu and imprisoned in the convent of St. Francis in Calacuccia, for the occasion transformed into a prison. Within three days, eleven of them were randomly selected and hanged without a trial.
Among them, there was a boy, Marcu Maria Martini. Actually he was seventeen, not fifteen.
But the riots in Corsica continued, and a few months later many villages were razed and many innocent victims were killed without mercy or deported to the French prisons.
