Born to be Abramo [English translation]

"Elio, Elio ... and the stretched stories...

Stand by me, my Lord,in the night.

Stand by me and we'll get the peace.

Make me crazy, make me suffer,

and the night will no longer return.

We'll lead you to our brothers,

we'll lead you along the streets;

life of my life,

I don't care about past times, I don't care who had had you,

along the street of the world, my Lord!

I don't care about past times, I don't care who had had you,

stand by me, by me!

Abraham, don't go, don't part, don't leave your home!

What do you think you will find?

The road remains the same, but people is different: they are your enemies, where do you think you're reaching?

Born, born to be Abraham(bis)

You know what you're leaving: what you're looking for is more important;

Go, and take my Gospel: the word of Jahveh!

Go out from your land and go where I'll show you.

The fishing-nets lie forsaken on the beach, fishers did leave them:

they have left with Jesus.

The crowd singing hosannas has already gone away

and the silence seems to ask a question to the Twelves:

Born, born to be Abraham(bis)

You know what you are leaving : and what does your Lord is going to give you?

A people, the land and the promise: word of Jahveh!

Go out from your land and lead where I'll show you:

the word of Jahveh is the word of Jahveh.

Abraham don't go, don't leave, don't leave!

I'm not Bhagwan nor Sai Baba: I'm Jahveh!"
