_ General, behind the hill, _ _ there is a night, cruel and _ murderous,
and in the middle [D] of the meadow there is a peasant girl,
curved [A] on the sunset, she looks like a [F#m] child, _
of fifty [Bm] years and five children, _ _
[A] born in the world as rabbits, _ _ _
departed in the world as [E] soldiers,
[A] and have not yet returned.

General, behind the station,
_ _ do you see the train that took the sun?
It does not [D] stop anymore, not even to pee,
_ you go straight [A] home, without [F#m] thinking anymore,
that the war [Bm] is beautiful, even if it hurts,
_ that [A] we will return to sing again,
_ and make us make [E] love, love, [A] from the nurses. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] General, the war is over,
_ the enemy has escaped,
he won, he fought,
behind the hill, [D] _
there is no one,
_ only eagles [A] of pine, silence and [F#m] mushrooms,
good to [Bm] eat, good to dry,
to make [A] us the sauce when Christmas comes,
_ when [E] the children cry to sleep,
they do not [A] want to go.

_ _ _ [A] General, these five stars,
_ these five tears on my skin,
_ what [D] sense do they have,
inside the noise of this [A] train,
_ which is half [F#m] empty, half [Bm] full,
_ and goes fast towards the [A] return,
_ between two [E] minutes, it is almost day,
it is almost home, [A] it is almost love. _ _ _ _ _ _
