Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
Hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Hey Rock fans, what's up?
Let's try to understand the lyrics?
This song is based on the eponymous book of 1940
From the American writer Ernest Hemingway
The book story takes place during Spanish Civil War
A conflict between the Conservative Nationalists of Spain
Who wanted the return of monarchy
And the Republicans who fought for the maintenance of republic
The Nationalists had control of most of Spain's army
The support of Mussolini's Italy and Nazi Germany
The Republicans had the support of USSR and the International Brigades
They were formed by volunteers from all over the world
The protagonist of Hemingway's book is Robert Jordan
An American from the International Brigades, specialist in explosives
He is given the mission to blow up a strategic bridge
And that's the summarized synopsis of the book
There is also a movie, based on the book
a 1943 film
Whose scenes I used to make this video
The film is also called "For Whom The Bell Tolls"
I didn't read the book, I just watched the movie
So I can't speak to the property that I'd like
But for me, the first part of song lyrics
Before the first chorus
Focuses on the battle in the snow that El Sordo's group, formed by 5 men
Fought against Nationalist soldiers in the hills
The second part of the lyrics
Focuses on the outcome of the bridge destruction mission
The death of the protagonist Robert Jordan
It's worth noting
That both the book and Metallica's song
Criticize the violence and futility of Spanish Civil War
And all wars in general
And that's it, if you liked my music video, or my translation

Bye!
