Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Stalingrado by Banda Bassotti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Fame e macerie sotto i mortai
Hunger and rubble under mortars
Come l'acciaio resiste la città
As steel resists the city
Strade di stalingrado, di sangue siete lastricate
Streets of Stalingrad, with blood you are paved
Ride una donna di granito su mille barricate
Laughs a granite woman on a thousand barricades
Sulla sua strada gelata la croce uncinata lo sa
On her frozen road the hooked cross knows it
D'ora in poi troverà stalingrado in ogni città
From now on she will find Stalingrad in every city
L'orchestra fa ballare gli ufficiali nei caffè
The orchestra makes the officers dance in the cafes
L'inverno mette il gelo nelle ossa
Winter puts frost in the bones
Ma dentro le prigioni l'aria brucia come se
But inside the prisons the air burns as if
Cantasse il coro dell'armata rossa
The chorus of the red army sings
La radio al buio e sette operai
The radio in the dark and seven workers
Sette bicchieri che brindano a lenin
Seven glasses toasting to lenin
E stalingrado arriva nella cascina e nel fienile
And Stalingrad comes to the farmhouse and barn
Vola un berretto, un uomo ride e prepara il suo fucile
A cap flies, a man laughs and readies his rifle
Sulla sua strada gelata la croce uncinata lo sa
On her frozen road the hooked cross knows it
D'ora in poi troverà stalingrado in ogni città
From now on she will find Stalingrad in every city
