Antonio Virgilio Savona - Voltiamo il foglio versuri traducere în engleză

Let’s Turn the Page

Before you go to sleep, you shall recite your little prayer,
for the few things you have, you shall thank the Heavenly Father.
Before you eat, you shall make drawings in silence,
because you are privileged, there are people who are doing worse, there are people who are in trouble.
It’s here that the deceit begins, the scam is outlining by now.
But the story isn’t over, let’s turn the page.
 
Now that you are a grown up kid and that you are already attending school,
you shall listen to your teacher and you shall learn many things.
He is knowledgeable about everything, and you know nothing.
If you wish to pass your exams, you will have to be very obedient.
It’s here that the deceit carries on, the scam is being asserted by now.
But the story isn’t over, let’s turn the page.
 
Now that you’re a young man, in a soldier’s uniform,
you shall march always in line and you shall obey your superiors.
When they command you ‟at attention”, you shall promptly click your heels,
and when they command you ‟at ease”, you shall move your left foot forward.
It’s here that the deceit carries on, the scam is being asserted by now.
But the story isn’t over, let’s turn the page.
 
Now you’re ready to be used, in an office or in a workshop,
programmed to work, so that a master can exploit you.
In the evening, TV keeps you misinformed,
but on Sundays, in exchange, it numbs you with the [football] championship.
It’s here that you end up screwed up, you can’t escape the scam,
by now, they have already brainwashed you into turning the page.
 
You can use my translations however you like.
“Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.” ― Dalai Lama XIV
