L'Unica Superstite (original)L'Unica Superstite (translation)
A Bettola stava scendendo la sera e Evening was falling in Bettola and
Lilli era pronta per andare a dormire Lilli was ready to go to sleep
Birocciai e sfollati per il coprifuoco Birocciai and evacuees for the curfew
Ritornavano a cercare un riparo They returned to seek shelter
Era il '44 sui monti di Reggio It was 1944 in the Reggio mountains
La notte di San Giovanni The night of San Giovanni
La ronda ha scoperto tre partigiani The patrol discovered three partisans
Venuti per distruggere il ponte Come to destroy the bridge
I partigiani hanno ucciso un tedesco ma un altro ha dato l’allarme The partisans killed a German but another raised the alarm
Il comando SS ha deciso di fare una rappresaglia esemplare The SS command has decided to make an exemplary retaliation
La notte i soldati armati di mitra sono andati casa per casa At night the soldiers armed with machine guns went from house to house
Avevano l’ordine di uccidere tutti, uomini donne e bambini They had orders to kill everyone, men, women and children
Li hanno svegliati, radunati in cucina poi hanno sparato una raffica They woke them up, gathered them in the kitchen, then fired a volley
Lilli è caduta tra il nonno e la nonna coperta del suo e il loro sangue Lilli fell between her grandfather and grandmother covered in her and their blood
I soldati avevano portato benzina e hanno incendiato le case The soldiers had brought gasoline and set the houses on fire
Ma Lilli era viva, è riuscita a arrivare alla finestra e lasciarsi cadere But Lilli was alive, she managed to get to the window and let herself fall
Ma la casa bruciava e sarebbe caduta But the house was burning and she would fall
Su Lilli come un colpo di grazia On Lilli as a coup de grace
È molto difficile scappare lontano It is very difficult to escape far
A undici anni con la gola ferita At eleven with a wounded throat
E sentiva le grida mischiate agli spari And she could hear the screams mixed with the shots
E le bestie nitrire impazzite And the beasts neigh madly
E le voci metalliche degli ufficiali And the metallic voices of the officers
E sentiva il calore del fuoco And she felt the warmth of the fire
L’hanno trovata soltanto al mattino They only found it in the morning
Ferita bruciata ma viva Wound burned but alive
Il postino l’ha messa sulla bicicletta The postman put her on the bicycle
E portata dai parenti in pianura And carried by relatives on the plains
Poi Lilli è guarita e la guerra è finita Then Lilli recovered and the war was over
E i tedeschi se ne sono partiti And the Germans left
Ma per molti anni ha sognato gli spari But she has been dreaming of shooting for many years
E non le usciva la voce And her voice did not come out
Ora Lilli vive una vita serena ed è nonna di tanti nipoti Now Lilli lives a peaceful life and is the grandmother of many grandchildren
Ma a volte si sveglia con gli occhi aperti nel buio But she sometimes she wakes up with her eyes open in the dark
E rivede la Bettola in fiammeAnd she sees the Bettola in flames again
