Il mondo che vorrei [English translation]

How many times have I thought about

my world that is falling down

Inside a sea [full] of madness

[and] Hyporcrisy.

How many times I wanted also

To help this world of mine

For all those who are suffering

Like you.

The world I wish for

Would have a thousand hearts

In order to beat harder they'd have a thousand loves.

The world I wish for

Would have a thousand hands

And a thousand arms for the future children

That ask for more with the look in their eyes

[You] save them too.

For those who believe in the same sun

There is no race or colour

Because the heart of those who have another God

is the same with mine.

For those who are still hoping for a smile

Because his tomorrow was already decided

And he's convinced that tomorrow

will be together with you.

The world I wish for

Would shoot with flowers

We would no longer hear

The sound of the guns.

The world I wish for

Would make more justice

For all those who

Have witnessed the war

And who are asking for more with the look in their eyes

Save them, you also.

How can we stay here

Standing still like this

Being careless

About all the babies that

Never grow up

What's the point in listening and not changing

Let's give to the world that peace

That can't wait anymore

In the world I wish for

In the world I wish for

We would all have a heart

The world I wish for

Would be called LOVE.

Hold my hands tightly

And you'll feel the world I wish for

the world I wish for.
