ANDREAANDREA
Andrea is lost, far, can't come back
Andrea is lost, far, can't come back
Andrea had a love, black curls
Andrea had a grief, black curls, can't come back
Andrea got lost,
he got lost and doesn't know how to return.
Andrea got lost,
he got lost and doesn't know how to return.
Andrea used to have
a love, black curly hair,
Andrea used to have
a sorrow, black curly hair.
The paper said dead - dead on the flag
Dead said and signed it in gold, a King's hand
Killed up the mountains of Trento by Gatling gun
Killed up the mountains of Trento, by Gatling gun
It was written on a page
that he'd died on the flag.
It was written and the signature
was in gold, it was signed by the king:
killed in the mountains
of Trent by machine gun fire,
killed in the mountains
of Trent by machine gun fire.
Forest eyes, farmer of the Kingdom, a Frenchman's profile
Forest eyes, soldier of the Kingdom, a Frenchman's profile
And Andrea lost him, lost his love, the rarest of pearls
And Andrea has a pain down his teeth, the blackest of pearls
Forest-colored eyes,
peasant of the realm, French profile.
Forest-colored eyes,
soldier of the realm, French profile.
And Andrea lost him,
he lost his love, the pearl most rare.
And Andrea has in his mouth,
he has in his mouth a sorrow, the darkest pearl.
Andrea picks violets now, all round the well
Andrea has cast black curls now, down the ring of the well
And the rope told him Sir, the well is so deep
Deeper than the back of your eyes, than the wailing night
Andrea was plucking,
he was gathering violets at the edges of a well.
Andrea was throwing
black ringlets in the circle of the well.
The bucket said to him,
it said, “Sir, the well is deep,
deeper than the depth
of the eyes of the Night of Tears.”
And Andrea he said it's enough - that it be deeper than me
And Andrea he said it's enough - that it be deeper than me.
He said, “It’s enough for me,
it's good enough that it’s deeper than I am.”
He said, “It’s enough for me,
it's good enough that it’s deeper than I am.”
