La ballata del marinaio [English translation]
A sailor in the middle of the ocean,
with a ship and a cannon
He went there to make his war
with an enemy he's never seen before
He's brought a woman's portrait with him
and some letter
and his dreams
A sailor in the middle of the ocean
trying to send an enemy to the bottom
They said that the enemy is a strange being
that he doesn't have a heart
that he doesn't know how to dream,
they said that whoever has dreams to defend,
has to fight against the enemy
A sailor in the middle of the ocean,
his enemy is already at the bottom,
but something remains on the waves
and he goes to see what cannot be
He finds a portrait of a woman and some letter,
dreams of a man
who's gone down to the bottom
