Original text with translation
Francesco De Gregori
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
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
