Fratelli

Couplet 1

My name is John Kelly, I’m nothing but a simple man

I’m back in my city, I’m back in my homeland

In the winter of 65, a guy or someone said to me

If you really wanna be free, do something for your country

Take this gun and follow me

Couplet 2

I’m back in my city, in this town of broken dreams

If the people look at me, it doesn’t matter what they think

I’m sick of this sadness, of this sorrow, of this pain

For your life or for your friends, for the reds or for the Fein

I hope you’ll never fight again

Couplet 3

Si so imbattuti sempre i mei circhendu di dà

A falli fughje é mai un ghjornu vedali vultà

Nunda un po ghjustificà, é parlu d’umanità

Avé à so identità, esse oghje un populu à salvà

Couplet 4

E noi c’imbattimu sempre circhendu di fà

Senza falli fughje, pruvendu inseme di campà

Nunda un po ghjustificà, é parlu d’umanità

Avé so identità, esse oghje una terra à salvà

Couplet 5

Other soldiers like me have been on the free Derry corner

We have dreamed a new country, like the father Mc Dyer

Sometimes I hear the voices of the friends who fell next to me

For my life or for my friends, I shall never fight again

I know that you feel the same

Couplet 6

Try to believe and understand

Take the future in your hands
