The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La regola" by Angelo Branduardi.

Lyrics

Come agnelli in mezzo ai lupi
Io vi mando…
Con candore di colomba,
con l’astuzia del serpente
e non portate borsa
né mantello né calzari
e non portate pane
né bastone né denaro.
Lascerete il padre,
la madre ed i fratelli,
lascerete i figli,
le vostre case e i campi.
Non cercate il lusso delle vesti
In questo mondo,
amatevi l’un l’altro,
tra voi ditevi fratelli.
Per servire voi veniste,
polvere il denaro,
accogliete nella gioia
l’uomo che a voi venga,
sia l’amico che il nemico,
il ladro ed il brigante.
Nulla vi trattenga,
vi divida, vi separi.

Lyrics translation

Like lambs among wolves
I send you…
With Dove whiteness,
with the cunning of the snake
and do not carry bag
Nà © mantello nà © calzari
and bring no bread
no stick or money.
You will leave the father,
mother and brothers,
you will leave your children,
your houses and fields.
Do not seek the luxury of clothes
In this world,
love each other,
you called yourselves brothers.
To serve you came,
dust the money,
welcome in joy
the man who comes to you,
both the friend and the enemy,
the thief and the robber.
Nothing holds you back,
divide you, separate you.
