Il Testamento del Capitano

And the captain of the company,
He's wounded, about to die,
He sends word to his alpines
For them to come find him.
His alpines send word back
That they have no shoes to walk,
With shoes or without shoes
I want my alpines back here.
What do you command, sir captain
Now that we have arrived,
And I command that my body
Be cut into five pieces.
The first piece to the flag,
Second piece to the battalion,
The third piece to my mother
So she remembers her son,
The fourth piece to my beauty
So she remembers her first love,
The last piece to the mountains
To bloom with roses and flowers,
The last piece to the mountains
To bloom with roses and flowers.
