Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Pantera by Banda Bassotti from Italian to English.
I politici mercanti, i ministri, i rettori
The merchant politicians, the ministers, the rectors
C'è qualcosa che minaccia il
There is something that threatens the
Clan dei governatori, cos'è?
Governor clan, what is it?
Solo andata nella stiva
Only went to the hold
Verso l'ultima fermata
Towards the last stop
Saint Quentin o Alcatraz

Governatori e Ku Klux Klan
Governors and the Ku Klux Klan
Cani e porci cercano di catturarla
Dogs and pigs try to capture her
Non la prenderanno mai
They'll never catch her
Non si può fermare il vento
You can't stop the wind
Blues and Soul and Dixiland

Sette note nella notte
Seven notes in the night
La notte delle Pantere il rumore di catene
The night of the Panthers the sound of chains
Lungo le strade del ghetto
Along the streets of the ghetto
Non riesce a coprire
He can't cover
Quella musica nell'aria
That music in the air
Senti urla la bufera
Hear the storm scream
Dice ancora fischia il vento
He says the wind still whistles
Per combattere il potere
To fight the power
Torneranno le Pantere
The Panthers will be back
