Eros Ramazzotti, Piero Cassano - Eros Ramazzotti, Adelio Cogliati

(unofficial english version)
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE
THAT GOT OLD LONELY
I HAVE SEEN ‘PUSHERS’
IN FRONT OF SCHOOLS
I HAVE SEEN LIFE,
A LIFE THAT STARTS
TROWN IN A SACK AS IF
IT WERE TO TRASH

I HAVE SEEN THE AIR THAT
BECAME RED-HOT OF LEAD
AND THIRSTY LAND IN TOO
MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD
I’M NOT VERY OLD
I DON’T EXIST FOR LONG
BUT I SWEAR THAT I’VE
SEEN THOSE THINGS ALREADY

I JUST ASK PEOPLE
TO BE MORE REAL
PEOPLE FROM EVERYWHERE
OF EVERY AGE,
IDEOLOGY OR NATIONALITY
I JUST ASK SOMETHING TO
BE DONE COLLECTIVELY SO
THAT THE THINGS I’VE
SEEN COULD STOP EARLY

I HAVE SEEN THE SKY
THAT BECAME HEAVY
COVERED BY A SHADOW
OF A HUGE CLOUD
I HAVE SEEN THE WATER
THAN NOBODY CAN DRINK
I WISH I’D NEVER SEEN
ALL THOSE THINGS

I JUST HOPE THAT
DECISION MAKERS
THOSE THAT COMMAND
KNOW WHAT THEY DO
AND IF THEY DO
AT LEAST RESPOND TO US
I JUST HOPE THAT
FUTURE YOUTH WILL
NEVER SEE, EVEN NOT
ON TELEVISION, THE
THINGS I HAVE SEEN

I’M WONDERING WHAT TO DO
TO STRIVE, FOR SURE
AND NOT ONLY TO TALK
TO STOP AND TO MAKE
AN END TO HORROR
I’M WONDERING WHETHER
LOVE ONLY COULD SUFFICE
