La storia [English translation]

We are the history, no one should be offended

We are this lawn of needles under the sky

We are the history, pay attention

No one is excluded

We are the history

We are these waves in the sea

This noise that breaks the silence

This silence so hard to tell

And after they tell you "They are all equals

They all steal in the same manner"

But there's only one way to convince yourself

To stay locked in house when evening comes

But the history doesn't stop

In front of one door

The history enters inside the rooms, it burns them

The history can be wrong but it also can be right

We are the history

We are the ones who write the letters

We are the ones who have everything to win

Or everything to lose

And then the people (because people make history)

When it comes to choosing and going

You find them with their eyes wide open

Because they know well what they're doing

Those who have read millions of books

And those who don't even know to speak

And that's why history gives chills

Because no one can change it

We are the history

We are fathers and sons

We are "Hello beautiful"

That goes

The history doesn't have secrets

The history doesn't let you aside

We are the history

We are these plates of wheat
