Un uomo venuto da lontano [English translation]

A man came from afar

Having the memory of wheat fields in his eyes

Carrying the Auschwitz wind in his heart

And yet, trying to write love poems

About the love that comes to life within the human heart

Towards another human

A man came from afar

Was holding his pain and a book in his hand

Someone fired a gunshot and that day I cried

But the whole world stayed by his side

That day, the world has found the heart again

The truth never dies

A man that goes away, dressed in white

Traveling through thousand of countries and never looking tired

But deep inside his eyes there's a profound pain

Seeing the way differently from the world

The war and the people that changed his heart

The truth that's dying

Go, gentle/sweet, great man, go

Go, speak of freedom

Go, where the war, hunger and poverty

Have killed even the dignity

Go and remember this heart of mine

I'm like Cain now

The first trumpet sound came from East

The world stops...there's something that changes

People are shouting: We want God!

Freedom is nothing but a gift of His

Open your arms and encourage the children

To be brothers

Go, gentle/sweet, great man, go

Go, speak of freedom

Go, where the war, hunger and poverty

Have killed even the dignity

Go and remember this heart of mine

I'm like Cain now
