In the low buildings people keep their window closed for fear of being swallowed by wind and light and dance, dance, dance. Note: In Otranto city (Salento - Le), 813 inhabitants were killed by the Turks led by Gedik Ahmet Pasha, on 14 August 1480. The cause of this massacre was the refusal to convert to Islam after the fall of their city. The first to be beheaded was Antonio Primaldo. Tradition tells that his body remained on his feet, after being decapitated, despite the efforts of the executioners to bring it down, until the last of the Otrantini was martyred. Their remains are now preserved in the crypt of the Cathedral of Otranto and inspired the actor and playwright Carmelo Bene in his film masterpiece Our Lady of the Turks. TESTO: Le orbite dei martiri di Otranto hanno asciugato il mare intorno, dalla terra brulla del molo si alzano spire di fumo e la gente danza, danza, danza, San Paolo non potrà salvarla per molto, ma nessuno verrà più a spogliarla. Nei palazzi bassi la gente tiene chiuse le finestre per paura di farsi inghiottire dal vento e dalla luce e danza, danza, danza. Nota al testo Il 14 agosto 1480, nella città salentina di Otranto (Le), furono uccisi dai Turchi guidati da Gedik Ahmet Pascià, 813 abitanti. La causa di tale massacro fu l''aver rifiutato la conversione all''Islam dopo la caduta della loro città. Il primo a essere decapitato fu Antonio Primaldo. La tradizione tramanda che il suo corpo, dopo la decapitazione, restò ritto in piedi, a dispetto degli sforzi dei carnefici per abbatterlo, sin quando l''ultimo degli Otrantini non fu martirizzato. I loro resti sono oggi conservati nella Cripta della Cattedrale di Otranto ed hanno ispirato l''attore e drammaturgo Carmelo Bene nel suo film-capolavoro Nostra Signora dei Turchi.
