La mia città [English translation]

My city, without mercy, my city

But how it is sweet in the certain evenings

At times no, without mercy

I close myself in the room

It makes me to feel alone

A city, without mercy, my city

I never know it throughly

To many doors, too many secrets

I will never find you

Tell me where are you

Now where to go, what to do, where to go

We are always inside of something

In a moving car on in a tram

Never seeing the sky

And breathing smog...

But look there, what the fuck he is doing, but he is thinking of you

But how he drives, that idiot

Then he looks here, what's the time already

But who has given you the driving license

That broke your tooth

To you...

We are always in a rush

Always in turmoil

Also you...

Even when you are licking ice cream

You have a pissed off look

My city, without mercy, my city

But how it is beautiful in the morning

When it turns on, when it wakes up

And the sounds start again

Promising many things

But tell me where you will be, before you were here

There is a black man who asks for help

Where will be this city

It is vanished without pity

There are too many walls in my city

But look what a civilization, my city

With the thousands of bars on the windows

Security guards, security doors

And a millon car alarms

That are always sounding

Because...

There are those who have too much than less

And who cannot be content

And there are...

Those who have to shoot up

In a corner of pain

And there are...

There is need of everything

There is need of fixing

Withour mercy, my city

"Lady, look what beautiful houses

However, to her, they don't give it

I'm sorry, my lady

It's all used by a guestroom"

My city, without mercy, a city

It tells you that it is not true

That there is no more poverty

Because it is all covered

By posters

There are those who work

It is obliged to cheat

And there are...

Those who for being able to care

Have learned to study

And there is...

There is need of fixing

There is need of everything

And there is

Need of more love

In this prison
