Gentileza [English translation]

They've erased everything

Painted all grey

The word on the wall

Is covered with paint

They've erased everything

Painted all grey

(What's) only left on the wall

(Is) sadness and fresh paint

But we who rush by

Through the city's streets

Deserve to read Kindness'

Letters and words

So therefore I ask you

Out there in the world

Which is smarter?

The book or wisdom?

The world is a school

Life is a circus

Love, word that frees

So said the Prophet

They've erased everything

Painted all grey

(What's) only left on the wall

(Is) sadness and fresh paint

So therefore I ask you

Out there in the world

Which is smarter?

The book or wisdom?

The world is a school

Life is a circus

Love, word that frees

So said the Prophet
