karelia - the deserter lyrics

i'm scared for war, the smell of blood
agony rattles make me cry
i feel no hate for my enemy
why should i kill ?
why should i stay ?
mother bring me back home
mother take me far away

the time has come to take my leave
don't have a grudge against me
opportune darkness ... i'm waking up and run
away in the silent night

running through meadows and hills
grass unstained and morning dew
i swear i won't
come back in the world of steel
finally my dream came true

listening to the river flows
light touch of the wind on the leafs
i escaped from the war claws
now i will never meet the grief

full of hazards anyway
whether i leave or i stay
they'll catch me up
i know lot which waits for me
death is the price but i'm free

for them i'm a coward, evil comrade
unfit to be 'cause i've done the choice of life
i'm a deserter

[choirs :]
fellonia a suoi fratelli, traditore
la scelta di salvarsi, disertore
vigliacheria vergognosa, infedelta colpevole

for them i'm a coward, evil comrade
unfit to be 'cause i've done the choice of life
i'm a deserter
