Gentileza [English translation]

It was all erased

It was painted over with gray

The word on the wall

It was all erased

It was painted over with gray

It only remained on the wall

Sadness and fresh paint

We who are always rushing

On the city's streets

Deserve to read the letters

And the word of kindness

For that I ask

To you on the world

What is more intelligent?

A book or wisdom?

World's a school

Life's a circus

Love is a liberating word

The Prophet once said

It was all erased

It was painted over with gray

It only remained on the wall

For that I ask

To you on the world

What is more intelligent?

A book or wisdom?

World's a school

Life's a circus

Love is a liberating word
