Lyrics " 1940 "

Original text with translation

1940

Francesco De Gregori

Original text

Mia madre aspetta l’autobus

Nell’estate cominciata da poco

E il mattino la veste di bianco

E la gente che legge i giornali

Sta parlando dell’uomo coi baffi

L’altro ieri è arrivato a Parigi

E la gente cammina eccitata

Sta ridendo e pensando al domani

Partiranno con gioia anche loro

I soldati bevono birra

E corteggiano donne francesi

Non è vero che siano diverse

Cosa importa se sono lontani

Dai cortili che li hanno cresciuti

Oramai questa terra è loro

E cantando, attraversano il ponte

Che fra un poco faranno saltare

Ed il fiume li guarda passare

Song translation

My mother is waiting for the bus

In the summer that has just begun

And in the morning he dresses it in white

And the people who read the newspapers

He's talking about the man with the mustache

The day before yesterday he arrived in Paris

And people walk excitedly

He is laughing and thinking about tomorrow

They too will leave with joy

The soldiers drink beer

And they court French women

It is not true that they are different

What does it matter if they are far away

From the courtyards that raised them

Now this land is theirs

And singing, they cross the bridge

Which in a little while they will blow up

And the river watches them go by
