Fontane della Patria

It's much the water that comes out from the fountain of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier? From the Altar of the homeland? Or it's more the blood of young on the ground? It's more the tears of mothers without son? Could really a fountain repay a contry for a war? Could really water wash tears and blood?

voglio che nel mio torrente scendano i lucci argentati, non più i cadaveri dei soldati, portati in braccio dalla corrente
I want that in my torrent come down the silvery pikes, no more the corpse of the soldiers, picked in arms by the stream
Fabrizio de André - La guerra di Piero
