BITTER BRANCHESRAMI AMARI
  
Bitter branchesRami amari
spreading out.che si spiegano
There's none more bitterNon c'è nessuno più amaro
than the wood.del legno
  
Into the wide world,Nel mondo intero
it grows,cresce
  
twisting undersi spezza sotto
soldier's feet,i piedi dei soldati
standing in linein piedi in riga
and the damp earth underneath.e la terra umida sotto.
  
Holding up their riflesStringono i fucili
high,in alto
holding their young wivescome stringevano le loro giovani mogli
who wave goodbye.che salutano.
  
Hold up the clear glassAlza il binocolo
to look and seeguarda, vedrai i
soldiers standingsoldati che si avvicinano
and the roots twist underneath.e le radici che si spezzano sotto i loro stivali
  
Their young wives with white handsLe giovani mogli con le mani bianche
wave goodbye.dicono arrivederci.
Their arms as bitter branchesLe braccia come rami amari
spreading into the world.che si disperdono nel mondo.
  
Wave goodbye,Arrivederci,
Wave goodbye..arrivederci...
