The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Cimitero Di Guerra" by De De Lind.

Lyrics

Cimitero di guerra nel sole
Bianche croci ricordano l’orrore
Dove c’era campi di grano
Tante vite spezzate, ma invano
Oh soldato, ignoto soldato
Che hanno sepolto in un campo bruciato
Per te che sei ormai nell’oblio
Hanno scritto che sei noto a Dio
Monachella che vai così assorta
Elemosini porta per porta
Tu in cambio prometti preghiere
Lunghe ombre le tue vesti nere

Lyrics translation

War Cemetery in the sun
White crosses remind of horror
Where there was wheat fields
Many lives broken, but in vain
Oh soldier, Unknown Soldier
Who have buried in a burnt field
For you who are now in oblivion
They wrote that you are known to God
Monachella that you go so absorbed
Alms door to door
You promise prayers in return
Long shadows your black robes
