"Mementu di Agrigento"

Copyright 2017, Tano Music

Words & Music by Tom Sperrazzo

We came to this island trek expecting just to find
Distant cousins, family tree 
From Palermo toward the sea;
Show us Naro!  There where it began.. 

 

In mediterranean sun our destination lies--
Naro nestled on the hill;
Where our family's living still;
But this island has more than family ties.. 

 

Her stunning beauty treats the eye, 
Neath' cloudless skies above;
Sicilian memento,
Life lentimento,
Love Agrigento,
Call it the Isle of Love!

 

Descending the mountain road there's richness to explore:
Grecian ruins, southern shores,
Turkish steps, the local lore,
Friendly neighbors who open wide their doors.
