The Ballad of the Hanged
If you arrive to Nioluyou will see a convent,
the ax of time
didn’t delete its crying.
They were about sixty men
with chests oppressed by the terror.
After being tortured
by the executioners, what a massacre!
several were hanged:
there was a boy,
they tore him apart
with a wheel and a knife.
Nowadays, in Corsica,
pay attention to it,
there’s still anguish
when Marcu Maria is mentioned.
This was his name,
he was not even fifteen.
