Chiedo scusa se parlo di Maria [English translation]

I apologize for talking about Maria

I'm not making a speech, whatever comes to mind

I'd hate for it to be something only for me

or even a love - it's not appropriate

When I say, talking about Maria

what I mean is talking about something I know well

for sure, it's not a captivating topic

in a world so full of tension

for sure, we are approaching madness

but it's more right that I talk about Maria,

freedom, Maria, revolution,

Maria, Vietnam, Cambogia,

Maria, reality

It's not easy to talk about Maria

there are so many things that seem more important

I deal with politics and sociology

to acquire the instruments and go forward

I deal with every ideology

but it' hard for me to talk about Maria

freedom, Maria, revolution,

Maria, Vietnam, Cambogia,

Maria, reality

If I were able to talk about Maria,

If I were able to really understand her existence

I would have perfectly figured out reality,

fear, tension, violence.

I would have figured out capital, middle class

bu what angers me is that I don't know how to talk about Maria

freedom, Maria, revolution,

Maria, Vietnam, Cambogia,

Maria, reality

freedom, Maria, revolution,

Maria, Vietnam, Cambogia,

Maria, reality

Maria, reality

Maria, reality
