Performed by Bepi De Marzi with “Crodaioli”, from a text by Mario Rigoni Stern.
“… The grouse are like the souls of our friends who went beyond: they stay there, under the mountain pines, in the snow, waiting for the memory that wake them up.”
The song was written in 2001, by Bepi De Marzi, on the occasion of the eightieth birthday of Mario, and refers to the dead of Ortigara.
