La Riva Bianca, La Riva Nera

Mr. captain, stop here
I'm so tired, I'll stop too
Watch out! They're shooting! Throw yourself down!
I'm careful, but you also take cover
Tell me, soldier: Where are you from?

I'm from a country close to you
But the border passes on the river, the white shore, the black shore
And above the bridge, I see a flag
But it's not the one that's in my heart
You soldier, then, you're not one of mine
I have another uniform, she knows it too
I don't know why I can't see anymore
I've been hit and maybe it was you
Mr. captain, what do you want to do?

This is war, it can't change
On the hill, the machine gun sings and the green grass turns to straw
And along the river, the battle continues
But for us two, it's already over
Mr. captain, I have to go
I'm coming too, you can't leave me
No, I won't leave you, I already know, I'll stay close to you for eternity
Everything is over, the border is silent, the white shore, the black shore
While a woman cries in the evening
And calls a name that won't answer
