Paroles et traduction Nino D'Angelo - L'Eroe

L'Eroe

E mo cu ll′uocchie chine d'acqua e core
A vecchia o sta accuncianno e ciure
E parla a dint′ a nu lamiento
Chello ca dice nun se sente
A gente cu e domande nfaccia
S'astregne attuorno o silenzio
Cerca risposte e trova abbracce
A chi ha vuluto sta tempesta
E po s'aizano e bandiere
Ncopp′ a sta terra scunusciuta
Pecchè l′eroe a cà è partuto
Addò isso ha dato e nun avuto
Viva l'Italia, viva l′Italia
Viva st'Italia vattuta
A chesta guerra c′ha vuluto
E areto nun se po' turnà
Partette vuluntario e notte
O figlio suoio carabiniere
Ma maie l′ha chiusa chella porta
Pe da' curaggio a ogne penziero
E mo le restano e ritratte
E na medaglia senza pietto
A vita ca è nu piezzo e carta
Ca si se brucia nun fa niente
Viva l'Italia, viva l′Italia
Viva st′Italia vattuta
A chesta guerra c'ha vuluto
E areto nun se po turnà
Viva l′Italia, viva l'Italia
Viva st′Italia americana
A troppo tiempo accattata
Lassata senza libertà

The Hero

And my eyes are filled with tears and heart
The old woman is preparing the flowers
And speaks in lament
What she says cannot be heard
People with questions on their faces
Gather around the silence
Search for answers and find hugs
To the one who wanted this storm
And then the flags are raised
On this unknown land
Because the hero left home
Where he gave and received nothing
Long live Italy, long live Italy
Long live this beaten-up Italy
To this war that was desired
And there is no going back
He left voluntarily and at night
His son, a carabiniere
But he never closed that door
To give courage to every thought
And now she has only the portraits
And a medal without a chest
Life is a piece of paper
That if it burns, it doesn't matter
Long live Italy, long live Italy
Long live this beaten-up Italy
To this war that was desired
And there is no going back
Long live Italy, long live Italy
Long live this American Italy
Bought for too long
Left without freedom
