      E i éuggi di sordàtti, chén aragiæ / co-a sciùmma a-a bócca, cacioéi de bæ / a scorî a génte cómme selvagìnn-a / finché o sàngoe sarvægo no gh'à smortòu a coæ.
      And the eyes of the soldiers, rabid dogs, with foaming mouths, lamb hunters, chasing the people like game until the wild blood has quenched their desire.
