Oltre Il Ponte
Modena City Ramblers
Beyond the Bridge
Oh girl with peach cheeks
Oh girl with dawn cheeks
I hope I can tell you
About my life at your age
Curfew, the German troops
Dominating the city, we are ready
Who doesn't want to bow their head
Take the mountain road with us
Silent on pine needles
On thorny chestnut curls
A squad in the dark morning
Descended the dark mountain
Hope was our companion
Attacking enemy strongholds
Winning weapons in battle
Barefoot and torn yet happy
We were twenty years old and beyond the bridge
Beyond the bridge in enemy hands
We saw the other shore, life
All the good in the world beyond the bridge
All the evil we faced
All the good we had in our hearts
At twenty, life is beyond the bridge
Love begins beyond the fire
It's not said that we were saints
Heroism is not superhuman
Run, crouch, jump forward!
Every step you take is not in vain
We saw within reach
Beyond the trunk, the bush, the reed bed
The future of a more human
And fairer, freer, and happier world
Now everyone has a family, has children
Who don't know the history of yesterday
I am alone and walk among the linden trees
With you, dear, who weren't there then
And I wish those thoughts of ours
Those hopes of ours back then
Would come alive in what you hope for
Oh girl the color of dawn
We were twenty years old and beyond the bridge
Beyond the bridge in enemy hands
We saw the other shore, life
All the good in the world beyond the bridge
All the evil we faced
All the good we had in our hearts
At twenty, life is beyond the bridge
Love begins beyond the fire
We were twenty years old and beyond the bridge
Beyond the bridge in enemy hands
We saw the other shore, life
All the good in the world beyond the bridge
All the evil we faced
All the good we had in our hearts
At twenty, life is beyond the bridge
Love begins beyond the fire
