Ta-pum, the characteristic sound of an Austrian Mannlicher Rifle, echoing across the mountains. Cecchino (Sniper) from Ceccho Beppe ( Francesco Giuseppe) the Austrian Emperor. Word still used in current Italian to describe Snipers and Sniping ( Cecchinagio). Music in Village Open-air Dancefloor style, waltz tempo, at village fairs etc. Often partook of such events in 1970s. Musicians with Accordions, Violins, etc.
grazie! been studying La Grande Guerra all my life... since I walked, climbed, skied across Asiago, Ortigara, Marmolada, Tre Cime... or Monte Piana, where my nonno was in the Alpini - did not know this "cecchino" did know about the "ta-pum" learned it the hard way with AK47s "crack-pum"
thank you for posting this version of Ta-Pum! Your translations are superb! Isn't there a version with "the cecchino begins to shoot?" and "a head full of lice?' Indeed the song is... a happy version, how the soldiers would sing it, even if the Alpini versions are ethereal & sad. In the States here, Don Gibson has the saddest songs with lively music "Sea of Heartbreak" th-cam.com/video/phCX0E8avxs/w-d-xo.html
@@Dominic1962 if the '91 has .267 bullets, not the more common .264, it is excellent. Especially the '91s made before WW1, with a gain-twist bore... but it really comes down to ANY RIFLE "the nut behind the butt"
@@RichardGalli-r6i Oh, I have a couple. They are accurate with the right bullets, that’s true. I also have a m95 straight pull and it’s also accurate, though one of the stutzens so it has a hefty kick. They get a bad rap from the slipshod refurb that some of them went through, and people that can’t seem to figure out you need to clean all the cosmoline and other gunk out of it. Mine is really smooth.
@@RichardGalli-r6i That is true as well. I enjoy my Carcanos but have no problem admitting they really aren’t the best design. They were pretty decent by 1891 standards but pretty long in the tooth by WWII.
Thank you for your work
Thanks! I will upload more in the next months, so stay tuned!
@@ilpiave9591 I will!
Yet another version i havent heard of a great song. Thank you so much for everything, i wish you nothing but the best.

Bel video!
Grazie!
Poiché questo è un canto di morte il ritmo non è quello corretto.
cantata un po'troppo allegramente in mia opinione 😅
True!
Not a waltz to dance in the balera with your girlfriend.
The Carcano is better than the M95
Meh, not really. Neither was great though.

@@Dominic1962 as well the ....bigotry after WW2 regarding the Italian military & their firearms - total rubbish

Un canto triste trasformato in un ballo folk, bravi ma non mi gusta questa versione.
