Video - I Lupi

Indimenticabile canzone contro la guerra di Ivan Graziani, che dà il titolo all'LP del 1977 (prodotto da Antonello Venditti!)
Racconta la storia di un soldato che torna nei posti dove ha combattuto, per non dimenticare l’orrore della guerra.

English Version by Riccardo Venturi

THE WOLVES

See the wolves are coming
on the sleeping countryside
they're hungry, they're many
see the wolves are coming
see the wolves are coming

Hey! See the wolves are coming
Hey! See the wolves are coming

Their fangs like snow white daggers
their eyes red like killers' eyes
the mountain vomited them
they're getting closer and closer

Hey! See the wolves are coming
Hey! See the wolves are coming

With my trousers and worn out shoes
and my wedding day tie
I took my memories to the war
together with the smell of my land
Long and white is the way
crossing through Brianza
on this mail train off hundred days
and I feel pain in my heart

See the wolves are coming
See the wolves are coming

"No, Ma'am, oh no
I haven't never met your son, no, ma'am, no
the sun was covered with ice,
we were 100,000, we're back only six"

See the wolves are coming

Stay with me tonight
I'm weary of fighting
in the Spanish bushland
I've buried my uniform
Serving seven years
for my offended fatherland
I've been spat at in my face
yet I wasn't worse than others, the other wolves

My arms in the mud
you can hide your eyes won't you
and I don't want to walk
on all fours like an animal

See the wolves are coming See the wolves are coming
See the wolves are coming See the wolves are coming

This is my home
and the marble table's drowning in dung
deep away in the countryside
someone's singing aloud
in my confused mind
tears and misery
I'm breathing anew, I've crashed my gun
