"Generale" - Francesco De Gregori

live with Pino Daniele (HD)

"General behind the hill

there's night cruel and murderous

and in middle of field there's a peasant woman

bent in the sunset she looks like a child

fifty years and five children

came to the world as rabbits

started toward the world as soldiers

and not yet returned

General behind the station

see the train carrying to the sun

not longer stop even to piss

We go straight home without thinking

that war is kind though it hurts

We can return to sing again

and to make love nurses

General war is over

the enemy defeated and fled

Behind the hill there's nobody

only pine needles

and silence and mushrooms

good to eat good to dry

for the sauce when Christmas comes

when babies cry

and don't want go to sleep

General these five star

these five tears on my skin

haven't meaning in noise of this train

that is half empty and half full

and run fast towards the return

Few minutes and is almost dawn

it's almost home

it's almost love"
