Povera Patria (original)Povera Patria (translation)
Povera patria!Poor country!
Schiacciata dagli abusi del potere Overwhelmed by the abuses of power
Di gente infame, che non sa cos'è il pudore Of infamous people, who do not know what modesty is
Si credono potenti e gli va bene quello che fanno; They think they are powerful and what they do is okay with them;
E tutto gli appartiene And everything belongs to him
Tra i governanti, quanti perfetti e inutili buffoni! Among the rulers, how many perfect and useless fools!
Questo paese è devastato dal dolore… This country is ravaged by pain ...
Ma non vi danno un po' di dispiacere But they don't give you a little displeasure
Quei corpi in terra senza più calore? Those bodies on the ground with no more heat?
Non cambierà, non cambierà It won't change, it won't change
No cambierà, forse cambierà No it will change, maybe it will change
Ma come scusare le iene negli stadi e quelle dei giornali? But how to excuse the hyenas in the stadiums and those in the newspapers?
Nel fango affonda lo stivale dei maiali Pigs' boots sink into the mud
Me ne vergogno un poco, e mi fa male I'm a little ashamed of it, and it hurts me
Vedere un uomo come un animale Seeing a man as an animal
Non cambierà, non cambierà It won't change, it won't change
Sì che cambierà, vedrai che cambierà Yes it will change, you will see that it will change
Voglio sperare che il mondo torni a quote più normali I want to hope that the world will return to more normal heights
Che possa contemplare il cielo e i fiori May he contemplate the sky and the flowers
Che non si parli più di dittature Let there be no more talk of dictatorships
Se avremo ancora un po' da vivere… If we have a little more to live ...
La primavera intanto tarda ad arrivareIn the meantime, spring is late in coming
