Canzoni contro la guerra - La Brigata Lolli

non sia il mio futuro.
Stanotte ho fatto un sogno,
e stanotte era estate
oh, terribile estate
per un sogno malvagio,
per un sogno malvagio.
Stanotte ho fatto un sogno
che nessuno meritava,
e quanto dell'incubo
comunque restera',
comunque restera'?

A MIDSUMMER’S NIGHT DREAM
Versione inglese fornita da Giuseppina di Lillo
I dreamt of airships,
darkening the sky,
just when folks
were singing and laughing the most,

that shot each other down,
shattering the harmony
of the radiant morning,
of the radiant morning.
If I think that I was born
to dream of the sun
and to speak of matters
that kindle love,
why is it, then,
that I sleep tossing with
anguish and fright?
They dropped soot
on my ivory sheet,
they dumped trash
in my green garden.
If ever I catch
who sows such destruction
he will be sorry.
I dreamt of a crater
deep underground and filled with people
who trembled
