La ballata del milite ignoto


Non mi ricordo in quale guerra
in quale cielo in quale mare
o forse era un palmo di terra
che io dovevo conquistare.

Una bandiera sventolava
ma non ricordo più il colore
quel giorno mi toccò morire
non mi ricordo più per chi.

Ricordo solo il mio primo amore
ch'era lontano ad aspettare
e che piangeva lacrime amare
il giorno ch'io partii per non tornare più.

Ero vestito da soldato
ma il resto l'ho dimenticato
non so neppure più il colore
della mia pelle quale fu.

Non so in che tempo son vissuto
non so se ho vinto o se ho perduto
so che ho gridato per l'onorema non ricordo più di chi.

Ricordo solo il mio primo amore
ch'era lontano ad aspettare
e che piangeva lacrime amare
il giorno ch'io partii
per non tornare più.

Sulla mia tomba non c'è nome
io stesso l'ho dimenticato
c'è un monumento di granito
ed un elmetto da soldato.

Ci sono scritte tante parole
ma non so più il significato
e c'è una fiaccola che brucia
e che per sempre brucerà.

Che bruci solo per il mio amore
ch'era lontano ad aspettare
e che piangeva lacrime amare
il giorno ch'io partii per non tornare più.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
