Oliver Onions - Mompracem Vivrà - 1977 - English Translation (Mompracem Will Live On)

-

Yet another masterpiece from Oliver Onions that doubles as an OST for the TV series of Sandokan that features actor Kabir Bedi in the main role of the prince turned pirate.

Lyrics taken from the comment section. Thank you @kitajima74.

Note: Though the song does not specifically mention "Mompracem", it is implied that that is the direction in which one is headed. That is why you will see "(Mompracem)" written like that, though you will not hear it mentioned in the song.

Nella notte c'è una luce, mai si spegnerà

In the (depth) of the night there's a light (that) will never die out

ma buia è la strada che ci porta, verso...

But dark is the road that leads us there, towards... (Mompracem)

Sole grande, sole giallo, ci accompagnerà

Great sun, yellow sun, it will come with us

e vola un gabbiano che ci guida, verso...

Together with a seagull that will guide us towards... (Mompracem)


Una mano stringe il fiore della verità

A hand grasps the flower of truth

e il vento del sud gonfia le vele verso...

And the southern wind blows the sails towards... (Mompracem)

Una voce, mille voci, gridano con noi

One voice, thousands of voice, shout together with us

il fiume più limpido che scorre verso...

As the clearest river flows towards... (Mompracem)


Mompracem vivrà

Mompracem will live on

il canto di un bimbo si alzerà

The song of a child will rise

la palma nel vento griderà

The palm tree will shout out to the wind

a Mompracem la libertà

That Mompracem is the land of the free


Mompracem vivrà

Mompracem will live on

il cuore più forte batterà

The heart will beat faster

la luce negli occhi brillerà a Mompracem...

The light of the eyes will shine brighter, in Mompracem...


Il profumo della terra sale fino a noi

The perfume of the land climbs up to us

e bianca è la sabbia che con l'onda giocherà...

And white is the sand that is playing with the waves...

Rosso il fuoco della brace, ci riscalderà

Red is the fire from the embers that will warm us up

il mare infinito intorno a noi per l'eternità...

As the boundless sea surrounds us for eternity...


Mompracem vivrà

Mompracem will live on

il canto di un bimbo si alzerà

The song of a child will rise

la palma nel vento griderà

The palm tree will shout to the wind

a Mompracem la libertà

That Mompracem is the land of the free


Mompracem vivrà

Mompracem will live on

il cuore più forte batterà

The heart will beat faster 

la luce negli occhi brillerà a Mompracem...

The light of the eyes will shine brighter, in Mompracem...


Il profumo della terra sale fino a noi

The perfume of the land climbs up to us

e bianca è la sabbia che con l'onda giocherà...

And white is the sand that is playing with the waves...

Rosso il fuoco della brace, ci riscalderà

Red is the fire from the embers that will warm us up

il mare infinito intorno a noi per l'eternità...

As the boundless sea surrounds us for eternity...

Oliver Onions - Sandokan Theme Song - 1976 - Italian Version + Lyrics (Sigla Italiana + Testo)

 After posting the English version of the song, it seemed only fair to post the original, Italian opening of the Sandokan series from 1976. Note : The following video contains the standard, main theme song and an extended instrumental version. The full version of the Italian opening stops at 3:05.  The English translation of the Italian lyrics that is present on this blog was done by me. Sandokan, Sandokan Più crudele è la guerra e l’uomo sa cos’è la guerra. (The more cruel war is, The more man understands how war truly is.) Caldo e tenero è l’amore e l’uomo sa cos’è l’amore. ( Warm and tender is the love, And man better understands what love truly is.) Giù dal cielo scende un tuono, tutto intorno un grande suono; (A thunder descends from the sky, Everything around roars;) nasce il seme dalla pianta: il grande albero adesso canta. (From the seed a plant sprouts: The big tree now sings.) Corre il sangue nelle vene, grande vento nella notte calda si alzerà! (Blood rushes throug...
