Eurialo e Niso

(Testo di M. Bubola, musica di S. Severini)

La notte era chiara, la luna un grande lume
Eurialo e Niso uscirono dal campo verso il fiume
E scesero dal monte, lo zaino sulle spalle
Dovevan far saltare il ponte a Serravalle.

Eurialo era un fornaio e Niso uno studente
Scapparono in montagna all'otto di settembre
I boschi già dormivano, ma un gufo li avvisava
C'era un posto di blocco in fondo a quella strada.

Eurialo fece a Niso asciugandosi la fronte
Ci sono due tedeschi di guardia sopra al ponte.
La neve era caduta e il freddo la induriva
Ma avevan scarpe di feltro e nessuno li sentiva.

Le sentinelle erano incantate dalla luna
Fu facile sorprenderle tagliandogli la fortuna
Una di loro aveva una spilla sul mantello
Eurialo la raccolse e se la mise sul cappello.

La spilla era d'argento, un'aquila imperiale
Brillava nella notte più di un'aurora boreale
Fu così che li videro i cani e gli aguzzini
Che volevan vendicare i camerati uccisi.

Eurialo fu sorpreso in mezzo a una radura
Niso stava nascosto spiando di paura
Eurialo circondarono coprendolo di sputo
A lungo ci giocarono come fa il gatto col topo.

Ma quando vide l'amico legato intorno al ramo
Trafitto dai coltelli come un San Sebastiano
Niso dovette uscire che troppo era il furore
Quattro ne fece fuori prima di cadere.

E cadde sulla neve ai piedi dell'amico
E cadde anche la luna nel bosco insanguinato
Due alberi fiorirono vicino a quel cimitero
I fiori erano rossi sbocciavano ogni inverno

Eurialo e Niso

(Text by M. Bubola, music by S. Severini)

The night was clear, the moon a great light
Eurialo and Niso left the camp towards the river
And they descended from the mountain, their backpacks on their shoulders
They had to blow up the bridge at Serravalle.

Eurialo was a baker and Niso was a student
They escaped to the mountains on the eighth of September
The woods were already asleep, but an owl warned them
There was a checkpoint at the end of that road.

Eurialo said to Niso, wiping his forehead
There are two Germans guarding the bridge.
The snow had fallen and the cold made it hard
But they had felt boots and no one could hear them.

The sentries were enchanted by the moon
It was easy to surprise them by cutting their luck
One of them had a pin on her cloak
Eurialo picked it up and put it on his hat.

The pin was silver, an imperial eagle
It shone in the night more than a northern light
That's how the dogs and the executioners saw them
Who wanted to avenge the comrades killed.

Eurialo was surprised in the middle of a clearing
Niso was hiding, watching in fear
They surrounded Eurialo, spitting on him
They played with him for a long time, as the cat plays with the mouse.

But when he saw his friend tied around the branch
Pierced by knives like a Saint Sebastian
Niso had to come out because the fury was too much
He took out four of them before falling.

And he fell on the snow at his friend's feet
And the moon also fell in the bloody forest
Two trees blossomed near that cemetery
The flowers were red, they bloomed every winter
