E forse un giorno [English translation]

For how long I will have to

Look for a way to stay afloat

My husband has not worked for a while

And together with the smile, he said goodbye to health and dignity

For how long I will have to

Ask my children to grit their teeth

Between bread, books, mortgage, light and gas

I already see another torrid summer in the city

But spring will come back

In our poor, brutalized and aged hearts, and it will warm them

And maybe one day, they will give us the air

At a cheaper price than gasoline

An authentic tear of holy patience

This year a coupon for shopping is up for grabs at the raffle

For how long I will have to

Bring the weight of this shame

We've all been in the car for about a month

We have become strangers in the eyes of our community

But spring will come back

In our poor, dejected and sick hearts and heal them

And maybe one day they will give us the air

At a cheaper price than aspirin

A legitimate dose of healthy hope

This year a lifetime pension is up for grabs at the raffle

That benevolent fine on the windshield

It is proof that someone still thinks about it

What a nice surprise in the frost and fog

How warm is the embrace of providence

And maybe one day, they will give us the air

At a cheaper price than garbage

And maybe one day, they will give us the air

At a cheaper price than garbage

For how long I will have to

Ask my children to grit their teeth ...
