En Méditerranée [English translation]

1. In this tub where black-eyed

children play

There 're three continents

and centuries of History

Prophetes, Gods

the Messiah himself

There's a beautiful summer

that doesnt fear the fall

In the Mediterranean

2. There's the smell of blood

floating on the borders

and countries, bruised

like so many open wounds

barbwired islands

imprisoning walls

There's a beautiful summer

that doesnt fear the fall

In the Mediterranean

3.There are olive trees

dying underneath the bombs

there where the first dove

appeared

Forgotten people

reaped by the war

There's a beautiful summer

that doesnt fear the fall

In the Mediterranean

4. In this tub I played

when I was a kid

With my feet in the water

I was breathing the wind

My playmates

have become men now

Their brothers, who are

abandoned by the world

in the Mediterranean.

5. Heaven is mourning

above the Acropolis

and there isn't a word anymore

for "freedom" in Spanish

We can always dream

about Athens or Barcelona

There's a beautiful summer

that doesnt fear the fall

In the Mediterranean
