"This spooky song -about a drummer boy fighting for the Union- came to me in less than 5 minutes and was never played again – until now".
On a sun streaked day
No cloud in the sky
Little drummer boy,
In a proud march
With the older ones
Little drummer boy..

There are some shots in the distance
There is some smoke coming through
There is the sweet smell of flowers
In the field of soldiers blue..

Just half past noon
On the green green lawn
Little drummer boy,
He strikes his drums
And the soldiers charge
Little drummer boy..

There are some shots coming closer,
There is cannon fire too,
He feels a burning sensation
In a field of red dew..

Just half past one
The battle done
Little drummer boy,
They take his drum
From his cold stiff arms
Little drummer boy,
Little drummer boy,
Little drummer boy…

Versione italiana di Gloria Nasca
PICCOLO TAMBURINO

In una bella giornata di sole,
non una nuvola nel cielo,
piccolo tamburino
va in marcia fiero
coi camerati più grandi,
piccolo tamburino ..

Ci son degli spari in lontananza
c'è del fumo che passa
ma vi è il dolce profumo di fiori
nel campo dei soldati in blu ..

Sono appena mezzogiorno e trenta
sul prato verdissimo
piccolo tamburino
suona il suo tamburo
e i soldati si lanciano alla carica
piccolo tamburino ..

Vi sono ora spari provenienti più da vicino,
c'è anche il fuoco dell'artiglieria,
avverte una sensazione di bruciore
in un campo di rugiada rossa ..

Son già l'una e mezza,
la battaglia è finita
piccolo tamburino,
portano via il tamburo
dalle sue fredde braccia rigide
piccolo tamburino,
piccolo tamburino,
Piccolo tamburino ...
