A voci è debuli.
Arrighitu,
A canzona più cà bedda :
È un blues
D'un omu invernaghitu :
A sceglia :
Megliu à tumbà un omu
O à cambià un usu ?
Cambià usu :
Rima cun blues !
Dieuze, Tulles, Dresde,
Hiroshima, Palestina...
Vi tengu in grand'estimu.
Menu o più,
T'eti tutti u listessu mal'destinu...

I saw some people starving
There was murder, there was rape
Their villages were burning
They were trying to escape
I couldn’t meet their glances
I was staring at my shoes
It was acid, it was tragic
It was almost like the blues.

I have to die a little
Between each murderous thought
And when I’m finished thinking
I have to die a lot
There’s torture and there’s killing
There’s all my bad reviews
The war, the children missing
Lord, it’s almost like the blues

Da senta, da Leonard Cohen, It's almost like the blues.
