Contro [English translation]
Against rifles, tanks and bombs,
against military juntas and tombs,
against the sky that's already full
of so many nuclear weapons
against all powerful leaders who aren't unaware [of this].
Against the Sabra and Shatila massacre1
against the insane immolations of the IRA,
against unfair sanctions, American crusades
for all the people who suffer and starve.
Against those who oppress people with fire
against those who are in command and run the game
against those who talk about brotherhood, love and freedom
and then fund wars and atrocities.
Against racism in South Africa,
against the right wing of the Israeli government
against mass murderers2 who haven't paid the price for their crimes yet
for all the people who are fed up and want to know the truth.
Against every kind of intolerance
against those who crush all hopes
against old fundamentalism and new imperialism
against the limited memory of history.
Against those who make others believe war is a duty
against those who want supremacy and power
against all badges of honor and sanctity
for all the people who cry: Freedom!
