T'amo e tremo

Disse la donna

Al suo soldato

Che non tornava

La sua voce

Nel vento correva

Sopra la neve

Dove lui combatteva Tremo e t'amo

Disse e piangeva

Nel buio della sala

Qualcuno rideva

Per far torto alla paura

A questo amore che gia finiva Il ricordo tradisce la mente

Il soldato non sente piu niente D'improvviso

Fu preso alle spalle

Dal suo nemico

Che strano parlava

Delle rose, del vino e di cose

Che un'altra vita gli prometteva

Ma quante spose

La guerra toglieva

Dalle bracia della prima sera Tremo e ho freddo

Disse il soldato

Al suo nemico che lo guardava

La sua voce nel vento restava

Sulla platea che muta ascoltava --------------------------------- I love you and I'm trembling

Said the woman

To her soldier

Who wouldn't be coming back.

Her plaintive voice

Was carried by the wind

Across the chilling snow

To where her soldier fought I'm trembling and I love you

She whispered as she cried

And in the darkness of the room

Somebody laughed

In conquest of the fear

That this love was about to end But sweet memories can betray you

The soldier doesn't feel anything anymore Suddenly

From behind

His enemy strikes

Who, stragely, was speaking

Of roses, of wine, of life's other joys

That were promised him in another life

Oh, how many brides

Will war take away

From that first night's warm embrace I'm trembling and I'm cold

Said the soldier

To his enemy, just like himself

His voice hung motionless in the wind

Heard by the silent audience of those that fell before him
