(di Mario Castelnuovo)
Io sono un piccolo giudice,
e scendo da molto più su,
da una terra di nebbia impalpabile
a una terra di argenterie,
coi picciotti da mettere in riga
e un silenzio d'oriente che c'è,
quando il sole riscalda i limoni,
e l'odore che sale al cervello
mi parla di te...
Io sono un piccolo giudice,
e, in fondo, paura ce l'ho...
le serrande abbassate alle nuvole
e i vestiti pesanti che avrò
quando l'afa che sale dal mare
porta un senso di malinconia
ai soldati qui sotto al portone...
e gli tiro giù l'acqua per scherzo,
e per scherzo andrà via...
La beretta a portata di brivido,ed un pranzo di pesce laggiù,
coi ragazzi di scorta ad un tavolo,
e si parla e si ride di più...
che se penso ad un giorno qualunque,
a un ragazzo di macelleria
che mi spezzerà il cuore di schianto,
non lo nego che poi l'appetito
di botto va via...
ma se penso che un giorno qualunque
dovrò smettere e andarmene via,
mi si spezzerà il cuore lo stesso,
questa terra è memoria ed è sangue,
ed è nostalgia...
Io sono un piccolo giudice,
e in Sicilia ci resto, lo so...
Siciliana, terra nera
come pietra d'ossidiana,
Siciliana, terra nera...
Siciliana, terra chiara
come perla di collana,
Siciliana, terra chiara...
Mario Castelnuovo (1901-1957) was an Italian composer, guitarist, and singer-songwriter. Born in Florence, he distinguished himself for his ability to compose music for guitar, profoundly influencing the musical landscape of the 20th century.

Castelnuovo was a master of various guitar techniques, such as classical and flamenco, and contributed to the dissemination of the use of the guitar as a solo instrument.
