The Deserter

Karelia


I'm scared for war, the smell of blood 
Agony rattles make me cry 
I feel no hate for my enemy 
Why should I kill ? 
Why should I stay ? 
Mother bring me back home 
Mother take me far away 

The time has come to take my leave 
Don't have a grudge against me 
Opportune darkness ... I'm waking up and run 
Away in the silent night 

Running through meadows and hills 
Grass unstained and morning dew 
I swear I won't 
Come back in the world of steel 
Finally my dream came true 

Listening to the river flows 
Light touch of the wind on the leafs 
I escaped from the war claws 
Now I will never meet the grief 

Full of hazards anyway 
Whether I leave or I stay 
They'll catch me up 
I know lot which waits for me 
Death is the price but I'm free 

For them I'm a coward, evil comrade 
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life 
I'm a deserter 

[Choirs :] 
Fellonia a suoi fratelli, traditore 
La scelta di salvarsi, disertore 
Vigliacheria vergognosa, infedelta colpevole 

For them I'm a coward, evil comrade 
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life 
I'm a deserter
