Andrea Lyrics in English by Fabrizio De André
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Andrea by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sa tornare
Andrea got lost, got lost and doesn't know how to return
Andrea s'è perso s'è perso e non sa tornare
Andrea got lost, got lost and doesn't know how to return
Andrea aveva un amore riccioli neri
Andrea had a love, black curls
Andrea aveva un amore riccioli neri
Andrea had a love, black curls
See'era scritto sul foglio che era morto sulla bandiera
it was written on the paper that he had died on the flag
See'era scritto sul foglio e la firma era d'oro era firma di re
it was written on the paper and the signature was of gold, it was a king's signature
Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia
Killed on the mountains of Trento by the machine gun
Ucciso sui monti di Trento dalla mitraglia
Killed on the mountains of Trento by the machine gun
Occhi di bosco contadino del regno profilo francese
Forest eyes, peasant of the kingdom, French profile
Occhi di bosco soldato del regno profilo francese
Forest eyes, soldier of the kingdom, French profile
E Andrea l'ha perso ha perso l'amore la perla più rara
And Andrea lost him, lost his love, the rarest pearl
E Andrea ha in bocca un dolore la perla più scura
And Andrea has a pain in his mouth, the darkest pearl
Andrea raccoglieva violette ai bordi del pozzo
Andrea was picking violets at the edge of the well
Andrea gettava riccioli neri nel cerchio del pozzo
Andrea was throwing black curls into the circle of the well
Il secchio gli disse 'Signore il pozzo è profondo
The bucket told him "Sir, the well is deep
Più profondo del fondo degli occhi della Notte del Pianto'
deeper than the bottom of the eyes of the Night of Weeping"
Lui disse 'Mi basta, mi basta che sia più profondo di me'
he said "It's enough for me, it's enough that it's deeper than me"
Lui disse 'Mi basta, mi basta che sia più profondo di me'
he said "It's enough for me, it's enough that it's deeper than me"

mitraglia — machine gun
Mitraglia translates to "machine gun". It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song, especially one with such a poetic and melancholic tone.
