Si [English translation]

If I were a friend of the Good Lord's,

if I knew prayers,

if I had blue blood,

the gift to undo and redo everything,

if I were queen or sorceress,

princess, fairy, great captain

of a noble regiment,

if I had the strides of a giant,

I'd put blue skies to misery

all the tears in a river

and I'd make the desert bloom where hope also springs

I'd sow utopias, bowing would be banned

no one would turn their eyes the other way

If I had hundreds and thousands,

the talent, the strength or the charms

of the rulers, of the powerful

if I had the keys to their souls

if I knew how to take up arms

I'd light in the fire of a titan army

the flames in the

extinguished dreams of children

I'd paint the sorrows in colour

I'd invent Edens with steps of opportunities,

with steps to the stars, with nothing less

But I've but a tattered heart

and two arms reaching out like twigs

a voice chased away by the morning wind

but if our bare hands join each other

our millions of hearts together

if our voices united

what winters would stand up to them?

A world strong, an earth soul sister

we'll build on these ashes

bit by bit, crumb by crumb

drop by drop and heart by heart

Bit by bit, crumb by crumb

drop by drop and heart by heart
