The Lyric speaks about the end of World War II. He pictures his grandparents and their families who find themselves in their native village, with a pile of rubble.

And we will learn to walk together
Oh hand in hand, we'll walk together
Domenica.

Waiting for you, I'll drink a glass of wine
My heart will explode again
And we'll be larger than life

Time in the distance, will bring me to your side
From high up in heaven, diamante
We'll see peace with our eyes.

We'll see them walking, the brides and soldiers

Dancing the dark, they melt together
Against the twilight
And all together we'll lift our voices
Singing the time, to play at soldiers
is gone forever
Domenica.

Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono
Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono
Fai piano i bimbi grandi non piangono

We'll see them walking, the brides and soldiers
Dancing the dark, they melt together
Against the twilight
And all together we'll lift our voices
Singing the time, to play at soldiers
is gone forever
Domenica.
