"You'll always be in this way, Caina'? But she lives alone and free, among her wild goats, far from home Agostineddu Pinna ...he's her fiance'." "The sails at the wind put inside her an unrestrained desire." "Pietro, the captain of the ship." "An old sailor." "A young sailor." "Why do you always escapes from me? At the village everybody looks at you in a different way than me." "I want to marry you and take you by my horse until the highest top of our mountains." "How beautiful will be to live over there, in our house! I can't love you, Agostineddu." "The sun does not want to shine for me." "You always fooling' me." "The sun shines in the blue water." "The night falls." "The intimacy of the household." "But her desire belongs to the sea and to unknown lands." "The sailors lying around the fire talk about their memories." "I was still rowing while the burning ship was sinking." "I saw Asia." "I've rowed more than you! Holyday at the village." "Agostineddu is waiting for you at the church." "Won't you go there? Take me with you sir." "I'd want to see the ball." "Oh, what a beautiful sailor! We came from Corsica." "We are journeying towards the continent and we have stopped here." "It's been three months now we are away from our families." "But this very evening we will leave towards home." "If you don't drink you offend us." "Her wish is coming true." "At dawn." "Where is Caina'? How did you come aboard?" "Speak! No, no!" "I don't come down! You are the oldest." "I will listen to you." "I could not stay at home anymore." "The sea has bewitched her." "And as for effect of her desire, the sea is calm." "Giantolu hurries towards the cavern in the hope of finding his daughter." "Drink, drink, it's good." "We sail against the waves." "On the coasts of Sardinia a storm has unleashed." "It seems that the storm comes to us." "Tell the captain the helm is broken." "Saint Barbara!" "Saint Barbara!" "Save my husband! Merciful God!" "Protect Giantolu." "Saves at last!" "I see land! After the storm." "And the lightning that saved the daughter killed the father." "Degenerate daughter!" "Where are you?" "Why don't you cry with me over your father coffin?" "Oh, Giantolu!" "Take me with you to the grave! The women, as custom, cry the dead." "Oh!" "Oh!" "You were a good man, Giantolu." "Honest and hardworking." "The Paresis has disfigured Mrs. Agnes' face in an expression of pain." "Poor Mrs. Agnes!" "She pays for her daughter' sins! Home of the captain of the ship." "Shame on you!" "You force your sisters to accept your lover in your home! Either we leave or her." "Make up your mind! It's not necessary!" "Wine has altered you! Yeah, yeah!" "She's right!" "Tomorrow all the neighbours shall know of your relationship and the honor of our family will be stained." "If you say another word I strangle you." "Caina' was living in the captain's home as in a nightmare." "And every evening... I want to have you as before, Caina'! Tormented by memories and homesickness." "The past, what an empty word! Homesickness." "I'm no more aboard of the "Falcon"." "I'll go back to Sardinia on another ship." "When will you sail? Tonight we raise anchor." "Threats." "You too you want to leave me Caina'?" "As my sisters have left me?" "No, you can't leave." "Tonight I will put an end to your resistence." "You already know me!" "I'll escape from you! Coward!" "Coward! Sailing towards the island. ...In ardent expectation! Hail Mary." "Agostineddu obsesses her as the phantom of his pain." "Agostineddu!" "Agostineddu! Are you back?" "You, miserable! Your father was hit by a lightning." "Yeah!" "The same night you escaped." "And the tops of the cypresses repeat the same song:" "Giantolu is dead, is dead! Open the door mother, open, I'm scared! Cai....na', you? That witch has come back." "Dam - ned!" "..." "Dam - ned!" "... No, mother, I pray!" "Forgive me!" "Forgive me! Do not insult the door, your mother's home! Dam - ned!" "..." "Dam - ned!" "." "Poor woman! Away, away from the village! Yes, mother, I go!" "Live your life in peace! Dishonest! Witch! And for the second time Caina' escapes towards the sea."
