Si son presi il nostro cuore sotto una coperta scura
They took our hearts under a dark blanket
Sotto una luna morta piccola dormivamo senza paura
Under a small dead moon we slept fearlessly
Fu un generale di vent'anni
He was a 20-year-old general
Occhi turchini e giacca uguale
Turquoise eyes and matching jacket
Fu un generale di vent'anni
He was a 20-year-old general
Figlio d'un temporale
Son of a Thunderstorm
C'è un dollaro d'argento sul fondo del sand creek
There's a silver dollar at the bottom of sand creek
I nostri guerrieri troppo lontani sulla pista del bisonte
Our warriors too far away on the bison track
E quella musica distante diventò sempre più forte
And that distant music became louder and louder
Chiusi gli occhi per tre volte
Closed my eyes three times
Mi ritrovai ancora lì
I still found myself there
Chiesi a mio nonno è solo un sogno
I asked my grandfather it's just a dream
Mio nonno disse sì
My grandfather said yes
A volte i pesci cantano sul fondo del sand creek
Sometimes fish sing at the bottom of sand creek
Sognai talmente forte che mi uscì il sangue dal naso
I dreamed so hard that my blood came out of my nose
Il lampo in un orecchio nell'altro il paradiso
The flash in one ear in the other paradise
Le lacrime più piccole
The Smallest Tears
Le lacrime più grosse
The biggest tears
Quando l'albero della neve
When the Snow Tree
Fiorì di stelle rosse
Flowered with red stars
Ora i bambini dormono nel letto del sand creek
Now the children sleep in the sand creek bed
Quando il sole alzò la testa tra le spalle della notte
When the sun raised its head between the shoulders of the night
C'erano solo cani e fumo e tende capovolte
There were only dogs and smoke and curtains upside down
Tirai una freccia in cielo
I pulled an arrow into the sky
Per farlo respirare
To make him breathe
Tirai una freccia al vento
I pulled an arrow in the wind
Per farlo sanguinare
To make him bleed
La terza freccia cercala sul fondo del sand creek
The third arrow looks for it at the bottom of sand creek
Si son presi il nostro cuore sotto una coperta scura
They took our hearts under a dark blanket
Sotto una luna morta piccola dormivamo senza paura
Under a small dead moon we slept fearlessly
Fu un generale di vent'anni
He was a 20-year-old general
Occhi turchini e giacca uguale
Turquoise eyes and matching jacket
Fu un generale di vent'anni
He was a 20-year-old general
Figlio d'un temporale
Son of a Thunderstorm
Ora i bambini dormono sul fondo del sand creek
Now the children are sleeping at the bottom of sand creek
