OriginalTraduzione italiana dal libretto del CD
BLACK OILBLACK OIL
Black oil black oil kills the sea kills the soil
They don't care about just count the coins
You better stay away from black oil
You better stay away
Olio nero olio nero
Uccide la terra. uccide il mare
A loro non interessa
Contano solo le monete
From the dark of their banks
They plan the end of the world
Even water and air are sold
But they’ll have to pay for all this mess
Someday they'll have to pa
y
Posing. lying. killing and maim
Are the only values in these doomed days
And the earth is dying before our eyes
But nobody cares. nobody cries
Meglio stare lontano dall’olio nero
Nell'ombra delle loro banche
Pianificano la fine del mondo
Anche l'acqua e l'aria sono in vendita
Ma dovranno pagare per questo schifo
Nuclear plants. wrecks of the sea
Bring pollution listen to my plea
Change your behavior before it's too late
Try to use some love instead of hate
Un giorno dovranno pagare
fingere. mentire. uccidere e affamare
Sono isoli valori in questi giorni maledetti
E la terra muore davanti ai nostri occhi
Ma a nessuno importa. nessuno piange
They say they fight for peace and liberty
But the reason is the oil we badly need
They say their" gonna build democracy
So they Just ill t e man to set him free
Dicono che combattono
Per la pace e la liberta’
Ma la ragione e' l'olio nero
Che dobbiamo avere
Dicono che costruiranno la democrazia
Ma intanto uccidono l‘uomo
Per renderlo libero
We are all guilty of this shame
Of indifference we are to blame
Mind our biznizz we want the best
And who gives a shit about the rest
Siamo tutti colpevoli di questa vergogna
La nostra colpa e' l’indiferenza
Pensiamo solo ai nostri afiari. vogliamo il meglio
E a nessuno frega niente di tutto il resto
From Galapagos to Quiberon
From Bhopal to Chernobil
Mother nature will present the bill
And you’ll have no more paying checks to fill
Dalle Galapagos a Quiberon
Da Bhopal a Chernobil
Madre natura presentera’ il conto
E non avrete piu’ assegni da compilare
