Lyrics of Santiago - Litfiba

Santiago (original)

E spera e spera, un uomo arrivera`
L’immagino in strada, nei cortei, fra noi
Aver paura, piangere
Cercare i figli morti per lui
E l’uomo in bianco scese dal cielo
Ma era al di la` delle barricate
E l’uomo in bianco vide la morte
Ma era di la` dale barricate
Santiago del Cile
Padre, tuo figlio dov’e`?
Santiago del Cile
Io no lo vedo piu`
Natale di sangue
No, non lo scordero`
E spera e spera, il Papa arrivera`
L’immagino in strada, nei cortei, fra noi
Gridare forte, combattere
Sacrificarsi per chi crede in lui
E l’uomo in bianco scese dal cielo
Ma era al di la` delle barricate
E l’uomo in bianco vide la muerte
Ma era al di la` delle barricate
E dittature e religione
Fanno l’orgia sul balcone
E dittatura e religione fanno l’orgia
Santiago del Cile
Padre, tuo figlio dov’e`?
Santiago del Cile
Io no lo vedo piu`
Natale di sangue
No, non lo scordero`
Vangelo, pistola
Dimmi la pace qual’e`?

(translation)

And hopes and hopes, a man will come
I imagine her on the street, in the processions, among us
To be afraid, to cry
Look for dead children for him
And the man in white came down from heaven
But he was beyond the barricades
And the man in white saw death
But he was behind the barricades
Santiago de Chile
Father, where is your son?
Santiago de Chile
I don't see him anymore
Bloody Christmas
No, I won't forget it
And hopes and hopes, the Pope will arrive
I imagine her on the street, in the processions, among us
Shout out loud, fight
Sacrifice for those who believe in him
And the man in white came down from heaven
But he was beyond the barricades
And the man in white saw death
But he was beyond the barricades
And dictatorships and religion
They have an orgy on the balcony
And dictatorship and religion have an orgy
Santiago de Chile
Father, where is your son?
Santiago de Chile
I don't see him anymore
Bloody Christmas
No, I won't forget it
Gospel, pistol
Tell me what is peace?
