Capitano

(original)
Con le spalle curve e la pelle scura, scura come un bastoncino
Di liquirizia nera nelle mani di un bambino
Il sergente minore si svegliava per primo e per primo si gettava nel fiume
E restava sott’acqua quanto il capitano
Il 31 di maggio suo figlio maggiore passò alle superiori
E sua moglie gli scrisse: «Sei il mio pellicano»
Era un giorno da andare fuori, si celebravano gli eroi
E quel giorno lui ammazzò il suo capitano
Oh capitano
Sei morto in guerra col fucile nella mano
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci mancherai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci mancherai
La guerra è vita, il fucile è amore, è una cosa da imparare
Per sentirsi nei coglioni un seme militare
Il sergente minore, fronte alta e dovere, imparava dal suo capitano
«Un eroe non muore mai davanti al suo camino»
Capitano, sei forte, capitano, sei grande, ma c'è un segno nella mano
Un sergente minore comanda il tuo destino
E la storia non sbaglia, senza morte violenta non diventa eroe nessuno
Lo pensava quando sparò al suo capitano
Oh capitano
Sei morto in guerra col fucile nella mano
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci mancherai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci mancherai
Oh capitano
Sei sempre in guerra col fucile nella mano
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Un fucile luccicante perché
I capitani non sparano mai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci mancherai
Lo sai, lo sai
Ci man… ci mancherai
(translation)
With hunched shoulders and dark skin, as dark as a stick
Black licorice in the hands of a child
The junior sergeant woke up first and jumped into the river first
And he remained under water as long as the captain
On May 31st, his eldest son graduated from high school
And his wife wrote to him: "You are my pelican"
It was a day to go out, the heroes were celebrated
And that day he killed his captain
Oh captain
You died in the war with a gun in your hand
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
You know, you know
We will miss you
You know, you know
We will miss you
War is life, the gun is love, it is something to be learned
To feel a military seed in the balls
The junior sergeant, high front and duty, learned from his captain
"A hero never dies in front of his fireplace"
Captain, you are strong, captain, you are great, but there is a sign in the hand
A junior sergeant commands your fate
And history is not wrong, without violent death no one becomes a hero
He thought so when he shot his he captain
Oh captain
You died in the war with a gun in your hand
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
You know, you know
We will miss you
You know, you know
We will miss you
Oh captain
You are always at war with the gun in your hand
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
A shiny shotgun why
Captains never shoot
You know, you know
We will miss you
You know, you know
We miss you… we miss you
