Avevo un camerata
When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day
Il migliore che c'era
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say
Per la pace e per la guerra
Well, don't you fret, don?t you fear
Noi andiam su questa terra
I will give you good cheer
Marciando insieme

Life's a long song
Ma la mitraglia abbaia
Life's a long song
Chi di noi dovrà morir?
Life's a long song
Nella polvere è la tomba
If you wait then your plate I will fill
E il suo corpo giù sprofonda

E il mio cuore lacerò
As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day
Il mio cuor lacerò
And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room

You struggle on your way
La mia man voleva prendere
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
Ma il fucile caricò
Lick the dust from your eye
Addio dunque addio fratello

Sia in cielo che in terra
Life's a long song
Sempre insieme noi sarem
Life's a long song
E sempre noi marcerem
Life's a long song

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn

As the baker street train spills your pain all over your new dress
And the symphony sounds underground put you under duress
Well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel

Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
But the tune ends too soon for us all
