Lyrics

Da morte nera e secca, da morte innaturale,
da morte prematura, da morte industriale,
per mano poliziotta, di pazzo generale,
diossina o colorante, da incidente stradale,
dalle palle vaganti d' ogni tipo e ideale,
da tutti questi insieme e da ogni altro male,
libera, libera, libera, libera nos Domine!
Da tutti gli imbecilli d' ogni razza e colore,
dai sacri sanfedisti e da quel loro odore,
dai pazzi giacobini e dal loro bruciore,
da visionari e martiri dell' odio e del terrore,
da chi ti paradisa dicendo «èper amore»,
dai manichei che ti urlano «o con noi o traditore!»,
libera, libera, libera, libera nos Domine!
Dai poveri di spirito e dagli intolleranti,
da falsi intellettuali, giornalisti ignoranti,
da eroi, navigatori, profeti, vati, santi,
dai sicuri di sé, presuntuosi e arroganti,
dal cinismo di molti, dalle voglie di tanti,
dall’egoismo sdrucciolo che abbiamo tutti quanti,
libera, libera, libera, libera nos Domine!
Da te, dalle tue immagini e dalla tua paura,
dai preti d' ogni credo, da ogni loro impostura,
da inferni e paradisi, da una vita futura,
da utopie per lenire questa morte sicura,
da crociati e crociate, da ogni sacra scrittura,
da fedeli invasati d' ogni tipo e natura,
libera, libera, libera, libera nos Domine,
libera, libera, libera, libera nos Domine…

Lyrics translation

From Black Death and dry, from unnatural death,
from premature death, from industrial death,
by the police hand, by the Mad general,
dioxin or dye, road accident,
from the wandering balls of every kind and ideal,
from all these together and from every other evil,
free, free, free, free nos Domine!
From all the imbeciles of every race and color,
from the holy saints and their smell,
from the Mad Jacobins and their burning,
as visionaries and martyrs of hatred and terror,
by who paradises you by saying " it's for love»,
from the manikees who yell at you " or with us or traitor!»,
free, free, free, free nos Domine!
From the poor in spirit and the intolerant,
from false intellectuals, ignorant journalists,
from heroes, navigators, prophets, Watts, Saints,
self-confident, presumptuous and arrogant,
from the cynicism of many, from the cravings of many,
from the slippery selfishness we all have,
free, free, free, free nos Domine!
From you, your images and your fear,
from the priests of every creed, from all their imposture,
from hell and Paradise, from a future life,
from utopias to soothe this certain death,
from Crusaders and crusades, from every sacred scripture,
by invading faithful of every kind and nature,
free, free, free, free nos Domine,
free, free, free, free nos Domine…
