| E' qui
| It's here
|
| E' quel passato che affiora
| It is that past that emerges
|
| son scatti di rabbia e tensione, non regge pi?
| are outbursts of anger and tension, does not hold up anymore?
|
| John lo sa,
| John knows,
|
| ha settant’anni e torner?
| he's seventy and will he come back?
|
| ad abbracciare il suo fucile
| to hug his rifle
|
| se deve andr?
| if he has to go?
|
| ? | ? |
| un partigiano e lotter?
| a partisan and lotter?
|
| c'? | c '? |
| piet?
| pity?
|
| Il primo colpo l’han sparato qui
| The first shot was fired here
|
| dritto in faccia, si scoppia in faccia
| straight in the face, it burst in the face
|
| a sangue freddo e in pieno sole
| in cold blood and in full sun
|
| ora sai che il primo colpo va sparato qui
| now you know that the first shot must be fired here
|
| dritto in faccia, si scoppia in faccia
| straight in the face, it burst in the face
|
| la prima volta ti fa male
| the first time it hurts you
|
| e poi.
| then.
|
| Ma John? | But John? |
| molto stanco ed ha fame,
| very tired and hungry,
|
| fame di aiuto e supporto
| hunger for help and support
|
| che la bufera non da hanno mischiato le carte
| that the storm did not shuffle the cards
|
| e il banco incassa
| and the counter cashes
|
| ? | ? |
| una truffa.
| a fraud.
|
| La sabbia e oro
| Sand is gold
|
| per chi non sa.
| for those who don't know.
|
| Il primo colpo va sparato qui
| The first shot is fired here
|
| dritto in faccia, si scoppia in faccia
| straight in the face, it burst in the face
|
| la prima volta ti fa male
| the first time it hurts you
|
| e poi, libera.
| and then, free.
|
| Il primo colpo l’han sparato qui
| The first shot was fired here
|
| dritto in faccia, si scoppia in faccia
| straight in the face, it burst in the face
|
| a sangue freddo e in pieno sole | in cold blood and in full sun |
