Noi non ci saremo [English translation]

We'll see only a fireball

larger than the sun, wider than the Earth,

not a single cry will resound,

silence only will spread out like a shroud

between the sky and the earth

for at least a thousand centuries

but we won't be there.

Then rain will fall from the sky for a year

and rivers will traverse the Earth again,

they'll flow to the oceans

and the waves will reverberate off the beaches again

and up in the sky the rainbow will shine

but we won't be there.

And snow-covered mountain ranges

will border spruce forests,

no human hand will touch them

and the waves will reverberate off the beaches again

and up there, far away, the sky will be clear again

but we won't be there.

And the summer wind from the sea

will sing a song among a thousand crumbling buildings

among the ruins of cities

among houses and palaces that will be slowly crumbled by time

among cars and roads a new world will rise

but we won't be there.

And life returns from the forests and the sea

and the Earth will be populated again

with nights and days the sun will mark a thousand seasons

and the planet will travel through space as it always did

for at least a thousand centuries

but we won't be there.
