Heavy ones could be:

Open your eyes(Irish lullaby-does anybody know it here?!)

"La Guerra di Piero"(this soldier is walking in this forest when he meets another soltier from the other army.Piero sees the fear in his enemy's eyes,sees the vulnerability of the man and sees he's a young fellow like him,and esitates.The other soldier turns out not to be that kind and shoots him straight away.Piero's last words are for his girlfriend, "Nina,my love,to die in may takes much too much courage Nina,my love,straight to hell I'd rather go there in winter")

"False/True love"(trad/Eaton/Murphy)
