Ennio Morricone, Luigi Tenco, Fabrizio De André
Era partito per fare la guerra
Per dare il suo aiuto alla sua terra
Gli avevano dato le mostrine e le stelle
E il consiglio di vendere cara la pelle
E quando gli dissero di andare avanti
Troppo lontano si spinse a cercare la verità
Ora che è morto la patria si gloria
D’un altro eroe alla memoria
Ma lei che lo amava aspettava il ritorno
D’un soldato vivo, d’un eroe morto che ne farà
Se accanto nel letto le è rimasta la gloria
D’una medaglia alla memoria
He had left to go to war
To give his help to him to his land
They had given him the badges and the stars
And the advice to sell your skin dearly
And when they told him to go ahead
Too far he went to seek the truth
Now that he is dead, the homeland is boasting
Of another hero in memory
But she who loved him was waiting for his return
Of a living soldier, of a dead hero who will do it
If the glory remains next to her in her bed
Give a commemorative medal
