about
With this piece, the project announces its true nature, in which dungeon synth and traditional music come together in a new union. This song, "Il testamento dell'avvelenato" (The Will of the Poisoned", is in fact a popular Italian ballad, of which there are many versions scattered throughout the peninsula. The version offered here, in particular, is the version that was found in the village of Carbonizzo, in the province of Reggio Emilia. To embellish the song we also find an authentic Emilian bagpipe, a piva, whose notes blend with the synths in a marriage never heard before. The song is inspired by the version of the song arranged by the band "La piva dal carnèr" (Paolo Simonazzi).
lyrics
In dò t'è stè ier sira, figliol mio Rico
in dò t'è stè ier sira, cavaliere gentile?
Sun stèe da me sorèla, mama la mia mama,
sun ste da me sorèla che il mio cuore sta male.
Che t'ha dato da cena, figliol mio Rico...
Un'anguillina arosto, mama la mia mama...
Che parte è stè la tua, fifliol mio Rico...
La testa e non la coda, mama la mia mama...
Dove te l'ha condita, figliol mio Rico...
In un piattino d'oro, mama la mia mama...
Andée a ciamer al prete, mama la mia mama...
Sin vot mai fer dal prete, figliol mio Rico...
Mi devo confessare, mama la mia mama...
M'avete avvelenato, mama la mia mama,
m'avete avvelenato e il mio cuore sta male.
