Per fare un uomo [English translation]

The rain falls and changes everything

death and life never change:

winter has returned, summer is over,

death and life remain the same,

death and life remain the same.

It takes twenty years to make a man,

an hour of love to conceive a baby,

thousands of hours to make a life,

a minute is enough for sorrow,

a minute is enough for sorrow.

The time will come, when we say words

when life creates a life

the time will come, when we make love,

when winter moves north,

when winter moves north.

Then we'll leave like birds

no one knows where they go

but that time will come and we'll see those skies

when winter comes back from the north,

when winter comes back from the north.

The rain falls and changes everything

death and life never change:

summer is over, winter is approaching

life and death remain the same,

life and death remain the same.
