Translation of the song lyrics Preghiera - Mia Martini

Preghiera (original)

Finch?
tramonta il sole
finch?
la terra va
tu dona o mio Signore
a chi ti chieder?.
A chi non vede, gli occhi
la pace a chi non l’ha
e la speranza ai vecchi
che vogliono restar.
Ma l’uomo non capisce
e cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
e l’acqua va a cercar.
A chi chiede il potere
dagliene a saziet?
e a chi denaro chiede
dagliene a volont?.
E poi dona al vigliacco
le gambe per fuggir
e a tutti i vagabondi
un letto per dormir.
Ma l’uomo non capisce
e cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
e l’acqua va a cercar.
Finch?
tramonta il sole
tutto puoi fare tu
e a chi chiede violenza
tu dagliene di pi?
la libert?
agli oppressi
ai giusti l’umilt?
io chiedo, solamente
di me non ti scordar!
Ma l’uomo non capisce
e cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
e l’acqua va a cercar.
Ma l’uomo non capisce
e cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
e l’acqua va a cercar

Preghiera (translation)

Finch?
the sun sets
until
the earth goes
you give o my Lord
who will I ask you ?.
To those who do not see, the eyes
peace to those who do not have it
and hope to the old
who want to stay.
But man does not understand
and what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
and the water goes looking for.
To those who ask for power
give him his fill?
and to whom he asks for money
give it to you at will.
And then he gives to the coward
legs to escape
and to all vagabonds
a bed to sleep on.
But man does not understand
and what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
and the water goes looking for.
Finch?
the sun sets
you can do everything
and to those who ask for violence
you give it more?
freedom
to the oppressed
humility to the righteous?
I ask, only
forget me not!
But man does not understand
and what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
and the water goes looking for.
But man does not understand
and what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
and the water goes looking for
