A Moment of Silence [English translation]

[Intro]

(A moment of silence)

[Verse 1]

Waiting for the mutes to sing

And the singers to be silent

And the allies to disembark

On the D-Day

Waiting for Martin Luther King

To say to the world 'I have a dream'

For a meteor to light up

These faces of giver-ups,

For Copernicus to pull the world

From the center of the universe

And for the music of mortars

To resound all around,

Waiting for the man to take

His first step on the Moon,

I'd like to ask that you all now hold

(A moment of silence)

[Hook]

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

[Verse 2]

Waiting for the times to change

And the Gods to come back

And the atom to be discovered

And all of us to live inside a talent show,

Waiting for Freud to theorize the existence of the Id

And Socrates to be born,

(I look at the stakes shining

On faces they make glow)

And for Atlantis to sink down

And Ulisses to come back soon,

Marco Polo to reveal the world

Following the route to Katai,

The aborigines and the long sleep

During which the universe dreams,

I'd like to ask that you all now hold

(A moment of silence)

[Hook]

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

[Verse 3]

Everything begins now

Nothing has come into existence, yet

Time doesn't exist, neither does my silence

Nor your word

Before light

Before any war and peace

Imagination, revolution

Quietly

[Bridge]

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

[Hook]

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence

A moment of silence
