Vitti 'na crozza

Vitti 'na crozza


A very popular Sicilian song

The song was a leitmotiv of Pietro Germi's movie "Il cammino della speranza."
In 1950, Pietro was in Sicily to start filming his movie. One day at Favara,
where shooting was taking place, a miner, Giuseppe Cibardo Bisaccia recited
to Germi a folk poem, which began "Vitti 'na crozza supra nu cannuni..."
Germi, fascinated, asked Franco Li Causi to write the music.
The song became the soundtrack of the film.

The first to sing it was Michelangelo Verso
 
This is available on Amazon:

I had to "dig deep" to translate the lyric :)
