The Story of a Soldier (La Storia Di Un Soldato)

Ennio Morricone
Lingua: Inglese


Ennio Morricone


Bugles are calling
From prairie to shore,
Sign up and fall in
And march off to war
Drums beating loudly
Hearts beating proudly
March blue and grey
And smile as you go.

Smoke hides the valleys
And fire paints the plains,
Loud roar the cannons
Till ruin remains;
Blue grass and cotton
Burnt and forgotten
All hope seems gone
So, soldier, march on
To die.

Count all the crosses
And count all the tears,
These are the losses
And sad souvenirs;
This devastation
Once was a nation
So fall the dice,
How high is the price.

There in the distance
A flag I can’t see
Scorched and in ribbons
But whose can it be.
How ends the story?
Whose is the glory?
Ask if we dare
Our comrades out there
Who sleep.

Count all the crosses
And count all the tears,
These are the losses
And sad souvenirs;
This devastation
Once was a nation
So fall the dice,
How high is the price,
We pay.

How ends the story,
Whose is the glory,
Ask if we dare
Our comrades out there who sleep.
