La rosa nera [English translation]

A pink evening

never becomes black.

They destroyed the nest of a swallow,

They threw a stone up there,

they cut the wings of a butterfly

and the butterfly is no longer moving.

They are changing the world,

They   are killing me.

But a rose in the evening

Never becomes black.

They brought a man at the border

and since that day we haven't seen him,

They threw ink in the creek

and in the creek it is no longer visible.

They are changing the world,

They   are killing me.

But a rose in the evening

Never becomes black.

And everything goes, and everything goes

until the earth burst. (repeats)

And everything goes, and everything goes...
