CHANGE - an Italian song by Giovanni Caruso

troppo lento

questo conto alla rovescia

per sopravvivere.

Bisogna cambiare adesso!

Per avere un bel giorno

bisogna in tutti i modi

sconfiggere la notte.

La solidarietà non è un mondo a parte

ma una parte del mondo.

 

rit) cambiare

cambiare

dobbiamo cambiare

ora o mai più

un'altra occasione.

cambiare cambiare

possiamo cambiare

per in nostri figli

ed ognuno di noi sarà eterno

 

2) il tuo denaro

è materiale

prima o poi

non serve più.

Il potere

e il rispetto

finiranno con la morte

solo il tuo amore sarà ricordato

come parte del mondo

 

rit) cambiare

cambiare

dobbiamo cambiare

ora o mai più

un'altra occasione

cambiare cambiare

possiamo cambiare

per in nostri figli

ed ognuno di noi sarà eterno

 

l'unione fa la forza

e non ci sarà una strada

che non si può seguire

se tutti vogliamo migliorare.

Non lasciamoci illudere

da chi promette un mondo migliore

e continua a mandarlo a puttane

 

Rit)

too slow
this countdown
to survive
must change now
to have a nice day
must in all ways
defeat the night

Solidarity is not a world apart
but part of the world

 

change
change
we need to change

now or never
another time

change change
we, can change

for our children

and each, of, us will ever

 

your money
is material
sooner or later
no longer needed
the power
and respect
will end with death

only your love, will be remembered
as part of the world

 

change
change
we need to change

now or never
another time

change change
we, can change

for our children

and each, of, us will ever

 

Unity is strength,
and there will be a highway,
you can not follow,
if all we want to, improve
let us not, delude ourselves
by those, who promise a better world
and continues to send, him to hell

A Little Noise/ by N. Generalovich 

A Little Noise 

by N. Generalovich 

 

I always played by the rules

A most reliable tool

I got what’s given in spite of my choice

I feel my effort marooned

I sit in back of the room

And hide my voice

 

I need to make a little noise

I’m gonna make a little noise

 

They’re not hearing it at ten

I’m gonna raise it to eleven

Because they can’t ignore what’s underscored with a roar heard by the heavens

 

They keep you pacified to ward a riot

Until your dreams rely upon their diet

When the curtain blows, get a glimpse of those, who then will say you chose to buy it.

 

I don’t expect that we’ll be heard

Until we say it as a crowd

They won’t be listening at first

We’re gonna have to say it loud

 

We can’t expect to have a choice

If we’re afraid to raise our voice

 

We need to make a little noise… 4x’s

 

All that I want is to be heard

And all my singing’s not enough

Nobody listens to the words

So I will turn the volume up

 

You can’t expect to have a choice

If your desire isn’t voiced

 

We need to make a little noise… (4x’s)

 

We always played by the rules

Raised as reliable tools

We got what’s given despite our own choice

We’re sacrificed by their laws

We need to rise to the cause, and find our voice…

 

We need to make a little… we need to make a little…

Noise

We need to make a little noise
