Translation
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia
One night a long, long time ago /
Three cavaliers took leave of Spain /
And passed through Campania and
Sicily / To settle down in Calabria /
For 21 years they kept out of sight /
To found the rules of their society /
Laws of honour and of war /
Major and minor, criminal too /
Laws of blood and secrecy /
Passed on from father to son /
These are the laws of our society /
Laws that have shaped history //
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Form this organized society /
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Honourable Calabria, Sicily and Naples
One morning out at sea /
I saw a sailing ship /
With five sails and seven sailors /
One of them asked me /
"Young man, what do you seek?"/
"Blood and honour", I called back/
"Then board this ship/
Because blood and honour mark our path"/
And they took me to sea /
To an island they called Favigniana /
0 you who can see me /
You may see the shore, but you'll never know how far away //
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Laws of honour, laws of secrecy /
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Whoever breaks them will find no mercy
On the island there was a palace with three halls /
The first full of the stench of treason /
I found three drops of blood in the second /
And in the third a society gathered /
Who took me as their own /
And under the tree of knowledge I was baptised /
Honourable circle, I greet you all /
Together until death /
I am one of your own for blood and for honour /
To hunt down the unworthy and the traitors /
We know no mercy and we never forgive /
That is the way of our society //
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Form this organized society /
The 'Ndrangheta, Camorra and the Mafia /
Laws of honour, laws of secrecy
