Lyrics

C’era una squadra nascosta in montagna,
c’era la morte, fedele compagna
c’era un sentiero coperto di neve
c’era un messaggio, un codice breve
c’era un soldato caduto dal cielo
c’era il sostegno di un prete guerriero
C’era un commando dell’esercito inglese
C’era un ribelle di un vicino paese
Erano in cento in quel gruppo armato
cento bandiere, un Battaglione Alleato
Erano figli della stessa rovina,
insieme uniti per difendere la cima
Si vedrà nel buio una luce scura
Brucerà di notte nella paura
Resterà nei ricordi di questa terra
Il triste suono che accompagna la guerra
C’era un fucile pronto a sparare
C’era una villa da dovere attaccare
da un lato il monte dall’altro la morte
giocando a tombola con la propria sorte
C’era l’odore del sangue nemico
C’eran le grida di un compagno ferito
C’eran le fiamme a donar la gloria
a quei ventenni che hanno scritto la storia
C’era la voce di una cornamusa,
un suonatore in quella notte confusa,
che regalò la sua seta a una sposa,
con sopra scritto che «vince chi osa»…
Si vedrà nel buio una luce scura
Brucerà di notte nella paura
Resterà nei ricordi di questa terra
Il triste suono che accompagna la guerra
C’era una bimba su un porto di mare,
c’era una bimba in un casolare,
stesse radici in quelle colline
stesso destino per quelle sterline,
C’era una donna che ricorda il passato
C’era un uomo dal cuore segnato
che non dimenticano i giorni lasciati
sulle montagne a morir da soldati
Si vedrà nel buio una luce scura
Brucerà di notte nella paura
Resterà nei ricordi di questa terra
Il triste suono che accompagna la guerra

Lyrics translation

There was a team hidden in the mountains,
there was death, faithful companion
there was a snow-covered path
there was a message, a short code
there was a soldier fallen from the sky
there was the support of a warrior priest
There was a commando of the English army
There was a rebel from a neighboring country
There were a hundred of them in that armed group.
one hundred flags, one Allied Battalion
They were sons of the same ruin,
together united to defend the top
You will see in the dark a dark light
Will burn at night in fear
It will remain in the memories of this land
The sad sound that accompanies the war
There was a rifle ready to fire
There was a villa to be attacked
on one side the mountain on the other death
playing bingo with your own lot
There was the smell of enemy blood
There were the cries of a wounded comrade
C'eran Le fiamme a donar la gloria
to those 20s who wrote history
There was the voice of a bagpipes,
a player on that confused night,
who gave his silk to a bride,
it says above that " whoever dares wins»…
You will see in the dark a dark light
Will burn at night in fear
It will remain in the memories of this land
The sad sound that accompanies the war
There was a little girl on a seaport,
there was a little girl in a cottage,
same roots in those hills
same fate for those pounds,
There was a woman who remembers the past
There was a man with a marked heart
who do not forget the days left
on the mountains to die as soldiers
You will see in the dark a dark light
Will burn at night in fear
It will remain in the memories of this land
The sad sound that accompanies the war
