How can you believe
that this city kissed by the sun and sea
will be able to forget
the ancient grudges and open wounds
the historical feuds,
the crying of mothers< br/>who will never again embrace a child
the very sorry state
who places a garland
tricolor with absent written on it.
From behind the shutters elderly people and children
they observe
the long and emotional procession
General, was this your army?
Who knows if the good Lord
knows this hell
if he has a plan to redeem it< br/>peace and hope do not live
in these parts it is an immense desert
Who knows if the good Lord will forgive the silence
Can one really believe
that this city kissed by sun and sea
will be able to forget
the gratuitous insults and the agonies suffered
the historical struggles
of those who challenged the underworld to the sound of music and poetry
the astonished looks
br/>of people who have never seen or heard anything
The airplanes fly, the trails intertwine like plots
that airport is a mess
which now bears a name of respect.
Who knows if the good Lord knows this hell
if he has a plan to redeem it
peace and hope no
they don't live in these parts it's an immense desert
/>Who knows if the good Lord will forgive the silence
Who knows if the good God will forgive the silence
Who knows if the good Lord will forgive Palermo
