Текст и перевод песни Livio Cori - Surdat

Surdat

Quante 'vvote amm' pensato "ce n'amma fuji"
"Ce n'amma fuji"
Sott 'e rote sta strada pare ca nun vò fernì
Nun vò fernì
Nun ce sta tiempo pe' sentì prumesse
Pigliamm tutt' primm ca fernesce
Ce'a capì
Ce'a capì
E cu' sta capa nu criaturo cresce
A sbatt' forte finché nun riesce
Ce'a capì
Ce'a capì

Nun ce può dicere comme adda ije
Nun simme surdat nooo (nooo)
Sceglimm' 'a direzione 'e chesta vita
Nun c'hann maje cumannato nooo

Rind' a stu post nun ce stann sant
'Sti carte fann' schiavi a tutt' quant'
A uerra a fa solo chi nun cummanna
Si sciglje buon' può campà n'at ann'

Quante 'vvote amm' pruato a piglià n'ata via
N'ata via
Ma è 'na rota: 'cchiu l'alluntan e 'cchiu torna a venì
Torna a venì
Simm' stanc' e guardà sul' 'e vetrine
C'a fantasia tritat' 'ind 'e cartin
Ce'a capi
Ce'a capi
Turnammo sulo si se fa matina
Nun simm' fatt' pe' nu lieto fine
Ce'a capì
Ce'a capì

Nun ce puo dicere comm' adda ije
Nun simm' surdat nooo (nooo)
Sceglimm' 'a direzione e chesta vita
Nun c'hann maj cumannat nooo
Nun ce puo dicere comm' adda ije
Nun simm' surdat nooo (nooo)
Sceglimm' 'a direzione e chesta vita
Nun c'hann maj cumannat nooo

Surdat

How many times have I thought "I'm about to leave"
"I'm about to leave"
Under the wheels this road seems like it will never end
Will never end
There's no time to listen to promises
Let's take everything first before it ends
You gotta understand
You gotta understand
And with this head a creature grows
Knocking hard until it succeeds
You gotta understand
You gotta understand

You can't tell me how to do it
We are not soldiers nooo (nooo)
Let's choose the direction of this life
They have never commanded us nooo

In this place there are no saints
These papers make slaves of everyone
Only those who don't command wage the war
If you choose well, you can live another year

How many times have I tried to take a different path
A different path
But it's a wheel: the more I move away the more it comes back
Comes back
We are tired of just looking at shop windows
With fantasy minced in cardboard
You gotta understand
You gotta understand
We come back only if it's morning
We're not made for a happy ending
You gotta understand
You gotta understand

You can't tell me how to do it
We are not soldiers nooo (nooo)
Let's choose the direction of this life
They have never commanded us nooo
You can't tell me how to do it
We are not soldiers nooo (nooo)
Let's choose the direction of this life
They have never commanded us nooo
