The Soldier's Tale
(originale)
The watchers on the hillside stand in silence
As the dawn appears
Then they gather to their horses in an instant
As a sunshaft sears
Through the morning mist which hangs low in the valleys
Like a serpent’s tail
Both poisonous to enemies and heroes
In the soldiers' tale
A lonely tower stands empty as a refuge
By the sullen lake
As the straggle of survivors, in their weakness
Make a grave mistake
For the crossroad sign which points towards the cost
Is another nail
In the cross of the Pretender and his comrades
In the soldiers' tale
The dream we once knew
Is now over
The battle is lost
The retreat has begun
Let us make our escape
In the dead of the night
While the lone widows wail
In the soldiers' tale
The French boat, at the ready, stands at anchor
On the swollen tide
His loyal followers raise a faint cheer
As he draws aside
The Pretender’s cause is lost, a sad farewell
As the boat sets sail
And the rain hurls down on the challenge of the gauntlet
In the soldiers' tale
The soldiers' song is never sung
The soldiers' battle never won
The soldiers' lives are bought an sold
The soldiers' bayonets are cold
The soldiers' guns are never fired
The soldiers' eyes are never tired
The soldiers' hearts are filled with hate
A soldier’s cause must ever wait
(traduzione)
Gli osservatori sulla collina stanno in silenzio
Quando appare l'alba
Poi si radunano presso i loro cavalli in un istante
Come un albero del sole brucia
Attraverso la nebbia mattutina che aleggia bassa nelle valli
Come la coda di un serpente
Entrambi velenosi per nemici ed eroi
Nel racconto dei soldati
Una torre solitaria è vuota come un rifugio
Presso il lago cupo
Come la dispersione dei sopravvissuti, nella loro debolezza
