ANDY

Andy’s lost, he's lost and he can’t come back
Andy’s lost, he's lost and he can’t come back
Andy’s had a love, black curls
Andy had a sorrow, black curls

The papers said that he died on the flag
They said so and bore a golden signature,
A king’s signature.

Killed by the machine-gun fire on Trento mountains
Killed by the machine-gun fire on Trento mountains

A peasant from the Kingdom with his woodlike eyes, his French profile
A peasant from the Kingdom with his woodlike eyes, his French profile
So Andy has lost, has lost his love, his rarest pearl
So Andy has a pain in his mouth, the darkest pearl

Andrea gathered violets at the well's side
Andrea threw black curls down in the well
The bucket told him: "Sir, this well is deep,
Deeper than the deepest depth of the eyes of the Weeping Night"

He answered: "If it's deeper than me, then it is enough"
He answered: "If it’s deeper than me, then it is enough".
ANDREA

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

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

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

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

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.
