SAND CREEK RIVER - FIUME SAND CREEK

SAND CREEK RIVER MASSACRE November 29, 1864

SAND CREEK RIVER

They've taken away our heart under a dark blanket
Under a moon dead in childhood, we slept without fear.
It was a twenty years old general
Wearing a uniform deep blue as his eyes,
It was a twenty years old general,
The son of a storm

There's a silver dollar lying on the bottom of Sand Creek.

Our warriors were too far away on the buffalo track
And that distant music grew louder and louder
I closed my eyes thrice,
I found myself there again
I asked my grandpa, Is that only a dream,
My grandpa told me Yes

Sometimes the fish are singing on the bottom of Sand Creek

I made so strong dreams that my nose started bleeding,
The lightning in one ear, paradise in the other,
And then the smallest tears
And then the biggest tears
When the snow tree
Gave red starred blossoms

Now the children are sleeping on the bottom of Sand Creek

When the sun raised its head beyond the night's shoulders
There were only dogs and smoke and overturned tepees
I threw an arrow at the sky
So that he may breathe
I threw an arrow at the wind
So that he may bleed

You got to look the third arrow on the bottom of Sand Creek

They've taken away our heart under a dark blanket
Under a moon dead in childhood, we slept without fear.
It was a twenty years old general
Wearing a uniform deep blue as his eyes,
It was a twenty years old general,
The son of a storm

Now the children are sleeping on the bottom of Sand Creek

Can someone please translate this into English? I am assuming the Author is exploring American WARCRIMES.  Here is a list off the top of my head: Chapaltepec and the massacre of the San Pat's BN 1848, Sand Creek River 1864, Moro Crator (PI-AM war) 1908, Bascari Italy Massacres 1943, Dacau 1945, No Gun Ridge 1950, Pattaya Beach 1950, Mai Lai 1968, Tiger BDE 1966-1970, Highway of Death 1991, PVT Green case 2003, Abu Ghrab 2004, Hydeatha 2006. Your song is haunting in Italian...
