Lyrics
Finché tramonta il sole
Finché la terra va
Tu dona o mio Signore
A chi ti chiederà
A chi non vede, gli occhi
La pace a chi non l’ha
E la speranza ai vecchi
Che vogliono restar
Ma l’uomo non capisce
E cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
E l’acqua va a cercar
A chi chiede il potere
Dagliene a sazietà
E a chi denaro chiede
Dagliene a volontà
E poi dona al vigliacco
Le gambe per fuggir
E a tutti i vagabondi
Un letto per dormir
Ma l’uomo non capisce
E cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
E l’acqua va a cercar
Finché tramonta il sole
Tutto puoi fare tu
E a chi chiede violenza
Tu dagliene di più
La libertà agli oppressi
Ai giusti l’umiltà
Io chiedo, solamente
Di me non ti scordar!
Ma l’uomo non capisce
E cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
E l’acqua va a cercar
Ma l’uomo non capisce
E cosa fa?
Ha il mare in tasca
E l’acqua va a cercar
Lyrics translation
Till the sun goes down
As long as the Earth goes
Thou donest, O My Lord.
Who will ask you
To those who do not see, the eyes
Peace to those who do not have it
And hope to the old
Who want to stay
But man does not understand
And what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
And the water goes to seek
To those who ask for power
Give him to satiety
And to whom money asks
Give it to him at will
And then give to the coward
Legs to escape
And to all vagrants
A sleeping bed
But man does not understand
And what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
And the water goes to seek
Till the sun goes down
Everything you can do
And to those who ask for violence
You give him more
Freedom for the oppressed
To the righteous humility
I ask, only
Don't forget me!
But man does not understand
And what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
And the water goes to seek
But man does not understand
And what does he do?
He has the sea in his pocket
And the water goes to seek
