| SAILORS AND SOLDIERS | MARINAI E SOLDATI |
| | |
| Sailors and soldiers | Marinai e soldati |
| uniformed shoulders | spalle in divisa |
| they're growing older | stanno invecchiando |
| over the sea | sul mare |
| | |
| The troops they are leaving | Le truppe partono |
| firmly believing | credendo fermamente |
| no reason for grieving | che non ci sia ragione d’affliggersi |
| | |
| Far from the banners, | Lontano dagli stendardi |
| Far from the glamour, | lontano dal prestigio |
| Far from the planners, | lontano dai pianificatori |
| Who sent them to die | li mandiamo a morire |
| | |
| herded like cattle | Spinti come bestiame |
| they head for the battle | vanno alla battaglia |
| their rifles will rattle | i fucili crepiteranno |
| over the sea | sul mare |
| | |
| Too young to be shaving | Troppo giovani per radersi |
| yet the flags they are waving | ma le bandiere le sventolano |
| for the fury they are braving | per il furore che affrontano spavaldi |
| over the sea | sul mare |
| | |
| proudly parading | Sfilano orgogliosi in parata |
| with their medals they are | stanno con le loro medaglie |
| but their glory is fading | ma la loro gloria sta svanendo |
| over the sea | sul mare |
| | |
| Sailors and soldiers | Marinai e soldati |
| Sailors and soldiers | Marinai e soldati |
| Sailors and soldiers | Marinai e soldati |
| &c... | eccetera. |
