The Coming of the Madonna del Monte

Over the sea a  ship arrived, 

making a great feast and shooting guns

( choir repeat the last line)

  they got to Racalmuto on their way 

This great lady here wanted to stay, 

( choir repeat the last line)

The Count arrived With all the Senate

To see her With a great amazement

( choir repeat the last line)

And they kneed at her feet

And started to cry ( choir repeat the last line)

He said I will give you money in exchange, six thousands dinari I will give you

( choir repeat the last line)

Your Lordship you can’t give money in exchange for Maria

( choir repeat the last line)

At midday the sun set _——

And they started to feel really upset

( choir repeat the last line)

They tried to set the oxen ready to leave 

but the animals  refused to move from here

( choir repeat the last line)

They made all efforts to drag the chariot,

A

ll the people who were there

( choir repeat the last line)

They sent a message 

To the Count 

If he agreed to pay the money

( choir repeat the last line)

 “We are ready to give everything to Mary 

She wanted to stay right here.

( choir repeat the last line)

And his Lordship answered :

“Go away, I dont’ want any ransom”

With the money I wanted to give you , I will build a temple , aChurch

( choir repeat the last line)

They draw the map of the church

And a lot of people went to see it

( choir repeat the last line)

 Who asks for a grace turns to Maria

Who has plenty of it

( choir repeat the last line)
