Viviré [English translation]

This street is the place that I miss

And this splendid sky is my roof

I could fly away like an angel

And I would play with him over the Moon

This street of slums and humility

Where absolute poverty lives

Is the school of the children like me

The teacher of their famines and pains

I will live

This impossible life

Is to want burn the sea with the Sun

It's like an inhospitable world, a bad movie

That I'll forget some day

This street of sadness and scarcity

You can't see the mothers in the fairy-tales

However I can see the God of the city

Because he's the one who'll set me free

I will live

This game to lose

Escape from the prison of the 'no'

Smelling a glue so I can fly

Is like letting yourself go and believe that that way you can live

However I seek for the faith I lack inside myself

And in my heart love will be reborn

I will live, even if it is hard to do that here

It's like screaming 'Kyrie eleison'1 to the sky

But if I notice that I haven't gotten a miracle

I will never surrender, I will break free of my chains

And I will live

(I know that it's possible to live)

You will have mercy on me, kyrie eleison1

Lord, I will discover this road

And I will walk on it by your side

And I will live...

I will live.

1. a. b. Lord, have mercy
