And the other twenty two? We left, we left In twenty nine, And seven of us came back And the other twenty two? They all died in San Donà [1] |
| Siam partiti, siam partiti in ventisette, solo in cinque siam tornati qua, e gli altri ventidue? E gli altri ventidue? | Dear Sister, dear Sister, I'm wounded I won't live till tomorrow If mum is not here If my mum is not here Dear Sister, dear Sister, I'm wounded I won't live till tomorrow If mum is not here You'll bring a flower to me. |
