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 ...

( Warm and tender is the love, And man better understands what love truly is.)

 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] ...
