The Deserter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm scared for war, the smell of blood
Agony rattles make me cry
I feel no hate for my enemy
Why should I kill ?
Why should I stay ?
Mother bring me back home
Mother take me far away
The time has come to take my leave
Don't have a grudge against me
Opportune darkness ... I'm waking up and run
Away in the silent night
Running through meadows and hills
Grass unstained and morning dew
I swear I won't
Come back in the world of steel
Finally my dream came true
Listening to the river flows
Light touch of the wind on the leafs
I escaped from the war claws
Now I will never meet the grief
Full of hazards anyway
Whether I leave or I stay
They'll catch me up
I know lot which waits for me
Death is the price but I'm free
For them I'm a coward, evil comrade
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life
I'm a deserter
[Choirs :]
Fellonia a suoi fratelli, traditore
La scelta di salvarsi, disertore
Vigliacheria vergognosa, infedelta colpevole
For them I'm a coward, evil comrade
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life
I'm a deserter
