Take off your hat and keep memory ★

Plain of the Seven Brothers

Earth water and wind

there was no time for fear

Born under a star

the most beautiful of the plain

They had a scythe

and large hands peasants

and before going to sleep

prayed Pater Noster as children

Seven children seven

of bread and honey

who give them?

Seven as the notes

so I'll sing them a song

Rain snow and ice

the fire flies with wine

and leave thoughts along

with the smoke up the chimney

They had a barn

and the step time of whose

know how to dance

and take his love

by the hand for the life

Seven brothers seven

of bread and honey

who give them?

Do not give them to war

to boogeyman don't give

Cloud lightning and thunder

there's no forgiveness for that night

when the fascists came

and took away them

with kicks and beatings

They left a greeting

and of hugs the stronger

They had the look of those

who go to meet the fate

Seven children seven

seven brothers

who give them?

Told us the plain:

I'll never forget these my sons

Seven men seven

seven wounds

seven dreams

Told us the plain:

Alcide's sons are never dead

And in that plain

from King Valley to Red Fields

we passed trough one day

and crying in the fog

we took off the hat
