Lettera al futuro [English translation]

This is an old story

already told, so many years ago

it's an old story, but it will surely tell you something...

there were also those dark times

times when it was blowing, stronger than ever,

the bad wind of an awful disease.

it was like this the prince thought about locking himself inside the castle

only with his friends - that's how he thought

to stay put there

till that fear will pass

and all that darkness...

there was hapiness inside the castle

and people were enjoying each others company

and they were eating a bit of everything

and they were dancing a little

and no one has ever imagined

that the bad wind could arrive there too

but it eventually entered [the castle] ... I'm writing to you

these things that belong to a past that

seems to never go away

I am writing all this to you

who will be born someday in the future

and who knows how things will be

if this wind will have left the cities...

I'm writing all this to you

who will be born someday in the future

and who knows how things will be

if this wind will have left the cities.

I don't know the world you'll find

I just hope you'll be

the son of a new

and more fair humanity
