Lyrics
La notte era chiara
la luna un grande lume
Eurialo e Niso uscirono
dal campo verso il fiume.
E scesero dal monte
lo zaino sulle spalle
dovevan far saltare
il ponte a Serravalle.
Eurialo era un fornaio
e Niso uno studente
scapparono in montagna
all'8 di settembre
i boschi giàdormivano
ma un gufo li avvisava
c’era un posto di blocco
in fondo a quella strada.
Eurialo disse a Niso
asciugandosi la fronte
ci sono due tedeschi
di guardia sopra il ponte.
La neve era caduta
e il freddo la induriva
ma avean scarpe di feltro
e nessuno li sentiva.
Le sentinelle erano
incantate dalla luna
fu facile sorprenderle
tagliandogli la fortuna
una di loro aveva
una spilla sul mantello
Eurialo la raccolse
e se la mise sul cappello.
la spilla era d’argento
un’aquila imperiale
splendeva nella notte
piùdi una aurora boreale.
Fu cosìche lo videro
i cani e gli aguzzini
che volevan vendicare
i camerati uccisi.
Eurialo fu bloccato
in mezzo a una radura
Niso stava nascosto
coperto di paura
Eurialo circondarono
coprendolo di sputo
a lungo ci giocarono
come fa il gatto col topo.
Ma quando vide l’amico
legato intorno ad un ramo
trafitto dai coltelli
come un San Sebastiano
Niso dovette uscire
troppo era il furore
quattro ne fece fuori
prima di cadere.
E cadde sulla neve
ai piedi dell’amico
e cadde anche la luna
nel bosco insanguinato
due alberi fiorirono
vicino al cimitero
i fiori erano rossi
sbocciavano d’inverno.
La notte era chiara
la luna un grande lume
Eurialo e Niso uscirono
dal campo verso il fiume.
Lyrics translation
The night was clear
the moon a great light
Eurialus and Nysus went out
from the field to the river.
And they came down from the mountain
the backpack on the shoulders
they had to blow up
the bridge at Serravalle.
Eurialus was a baker
and Niso a student
they fled to the mountains
on September 8
the woods were already asleep
but an owl warned them
there was a checkpoint
down that road.
Eurialo told Niso
wiping the forehead
there are two Germans
guard over the bridge.
The snow had fallen
and the cold hardens her
but avean felt shoes
and no one could hear them.
The sentries were
enchanted by the moon
it was easy to surprise them
cutting his luck
one of them had
a brooch on the cloak
Eurialus collected it
and he put it on his hat.
the brooch was silver
an imperial eagle
shone in the night
more of an aurora borealis.
That's how they saw him.
dogs and needlewomen
that they wanted to avenge
the comrades killed.
Eurialus was blocked
in the middle of a clearing
Niso was hiding
covered in fear
Eurialus surrounded
covering it with spit
for a long time they played
like a cat and a mouse.
But when he saw the friend
tied around a branch
pierced by knives
like a Saint Sebastian
Niso had to get out
too much was the fury
four took out
before you fall.
And fell on the snow
at the feet of the friend
and the Moon also fell
in the bloody Woods
two trees blossomed
near the cemetery
the flowers were red
they blossomed in winter.
The night was clear
the moon a great light
Eurialus and Nysus went out
from the field to the river.
