Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La ballata dell'eroe by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Era partito per fare la guerra
He had left to go to war
Per dare il suo aiuto alla sua terra
To help his land
Gli avevano dato le mostrine e le stelle
They had given him monsters and stars
E il consiglio di vendere cara la pelle
And the advice to sell dear the skin
E quando gli dissero di andare avanti
And when they told him to move on
Troppo lontano si spinse a cercare la verità
Too far he went so far as to seek the truth
Ora che è morto la patria si gloria
Now that he's dead the homeland glorys
D'un altro eroe alla memoria
From another hero to memory
Ma lei che lo amava aspettava il ritorno
But she who loved him waited for the return
D'un soldato vivo, d'un eroe morto che ne farà
Of a living soldier, of a dead hero who will make it
Se accanto nel letto le è rimasta la gloria
If next to her in bed she has the glory left
D'una medaglia alla memoria
From a medal to memory
