Ninànnaò [English translation]

How many children in the world

fall asleep under a star roof

how many children in the world

never listen to the most beautiful fairy tales

too many children in the world

they have in their eyes the terror of fiery skies

and men ... will never be

The little children of Bucharest

under the sidewalks ... and marginalized

those Rio de Janeiro puppies

raised in violence

and children have never been

Ninna ninna nànna ninnànnaò

for all the children of the world a little love

Ninna nina nànna ninnànnaò

there are no children in this world of a little god

SOS. we are on the verge of men's cruelty

ninna nànna ninnàò this child to whom I give it

ninna nànna fait dodo

How many Bangladeshi children

they only have the guilt of being born there

beautiful Bankok dolls

raped and girls have never been

little angels of the third world

with those big eyes and the tummy

swollen every day

and with the years counted now

Ninna ninna nànna ninnànnaò

for all the children of the world a little love

Ninna nina nànna ninnànnaò

there are no children in this world of a little god

SOS. we are on the verge of men's cruelty

ninna nànna ninnàò this child to whom I give it

ninna nànna fait dodo

For all the children in the world it takes love

there are no children in the world of a lesser God

SOS. we are at the limits we are at the limits of the banks

Ninna nànna ninnaò this child to whom I give it

We will give it to the black man who keeps it a whole year.
