The Tales of Captain Salgari

 A song that the artist made in honour of his father, who was a fan of Captain Salgari's works. The lyrics are from  here  (09.12.2025), where in the video you can see the lyrics in the original Comasco dialect and in the description there's the Italian translation. Here  (09.12.2025) you can see the Italian translation of the lyrics in real time. Note : The author sings in Comasco dialect, which is spoken in the Lake Como area.   Sale scende la marea e riporta la sua spazzatura The tide rises up and falls down as it takes back its waste un secchio e una ciabatta, una lattina di Red Bull  A bucket and a slipper, a can of Red Bull Sandokan con il mohito il biglietto con l'invito  Sandokan with a mojito in hand, a ticket with an invitation Sandokan che ha imparato a pilotare le infradito...  Sandokan, whom has learned to maneuver flip-flops e la gente che và al mare solo per dire che c'è stata  And the people that go to the seaside just to say ...

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 ...

 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...

 I hope you all have had a wonderful time during the holidays. Kick-starting the year with a post featuring the English version of the theme song from the 1976 TV series of Sandokan . The lyrics will be posted under the video, however, I wish to make it known that they are taken from the comment section. Thank you, @ jdeast8469 . Sandokan Sandokan  [Instrumental] Warm and tender is the love and people know the way to love. Cruel and bloody is the war and people know how to make a war. But the people can be unfair and there's no one to help them there. I love my people I love my land And everybody seems to understand. Altogether altogether now together, Hand in hand let's go to the sun Sandokan, Sandokan Make me warm and I'll be the one Sandokan, Sandokan Make me warm and I'll fight everyday, every night, every way Sandokan, Sandokan Make me warm and I'll be the one Sandokan, Sandokan Make me warm and I'll fight everyday, every night, every way [Instrumental] ...
