Silenziu d’amuri
di Alfio Antico
T’amai di quannu stavi dintra la naca,
T’addivai ducizza a muddichi a muddichi,
Silenziu d’amuri ca camini ‘ntra li vini,
Nun è pussibili staccarimi di tia.
Nun chianciti no, albiri d’alivi,
Amuri e beni vengunu di luntanu,
Dilizia amata mia, sciatu di l’arma mia,
Dammi lu cori ca ti dugnu la vita.
Vacanti senza culura tengu lu senzu ,
Quanno ‘na mamma si scorda a so figghiu,
Tannu mi scordu d’amari a tia,
Ti vogghu bbene picciridda mia.
Vulati acidduzzi iti ni ll’amata,
Cantantici mentri nc’è morte e vita,
Comu tuttu lu munnu esti la campagna,
Tu sì a Riggina e ju Re di Spagna.
ENGLISH VERSION
I have loved you since you were in the cradle,
I have given you tenderness morsel by morsel.
Silence of love flowing in the veins,
I cannot tear myself away from you.
Weep not, ye olive trees:
Love and tenderness have come a long way.
My beloved joy, my soul’s inspiration,
Give me your heart, I give you my life.
My mind is empty and devoid of colour;
Only when a mother forgets her own child
Will I forget my love for you.
I love you, my little one…
Swallows, fly to my beloved
And sing for her in life and death.
These rustic parts are like the whole world,
You are the queen and I am the king of Spain.

And then there was some history in the first love of the young Montalbano, in the years of his apprenticeship in the police, before Livia.
His name is Mery, a beautiful Sicilian girl who teaches Latin, determined, loves good food, good head on his shoulders, and he would like to marry him. Mery has the face of Greek Katia, a young Sicilian actress that we have already seen in “Police District 9″, “Ris 4″, “The two of us”, “White Crimes” and “The boss of bosses”. In addition to the theater in Rome in the show “The big dinner.”

Unless Mery will try to help, relying on authoritative hooks to the Ministry of the Interior, to appoint him Commissioner to Vigata, which accompanies him to take possession of his new office and its new home. Montalbano does not intend to establish a lasting relationship with Mery. In fact, soon after coming to Genoa Livia, who is played by Sarah Felberbaum.
