CANZONE SENZA PAROLE DA UN ASILO MORTO DI PRIPYAT

CHERNOBYL TEN YEARS LATER How dark is the afternoon, here northeast of the world, A wind's blowing and never calms down. If only this strange smell coming from up there Were sulphur hanging to southwest wind gusts. We've been let alone thousands of years since the radioactive dawn, But I will grow my children by the river, And if the earth refuses its fruits, flowers and its dew I won't leave from here, I will revive. Where are you? Man, where are you? What did you give your courage for? For wealth and its mirages? We're tiren and in despair, We can't go on... Where are you? Man, what are you doing? You sold your home, Your woman, your rose. We're the shadow of contempt, Of power at any cost, Man, where are you going? Look outside now, the sun is burning the horizon, And the shrubs are withering more and more... Thousands were sent to the reactor like to front, Poor, unaware soldiers you won't see anymore. Where are you? Man, where are you? What did you give your courage for? For wealth and its mirages? We're tiren and in despair, We can't go on... Where are you? Man, what are you doing? You sold your home, Your woman, your rose. We're the shadow of contempt, Of power at any cost, Man, where are you going?
