You're dreaming!
Of course we are:
We're dreaming constantly... Always.
You're expecting too much!
Of course we do:
We have learned to wait and we expect it all.
You want too much!
Of course we do:
We want too much... More, everything!
You're in too great a rush!
Yes, of course we are:
Walking, reaching that place, starting anew...
You're dreaming!
Yes, inevitably,
Today's dream is tomorrow's possibility.
You're expecting too much!
Of course we do:
And we aren't ashamed of being the slaves of hope.
You want too much!
Of course we do:
It is our furious right and even more: it's our duty.
You make demands!
Of course we do:
Passinately or with sorrow...
And nonetheless...
And nonetheless, it's better like this.
It's better (to have) a people that moves,
Even if, sometimes, too hastily;
Even if, sometimes, too carefully;
Even if, sometimes, they're dirty, vile, despicable...
It's better like this,
In all of its human condition,
Both strange and simple;
It's better like this,
Than being a herd of sheeple, subservient
To the calculations of those who shape interests.
For this,
No one should be ashamed of saying,
No one should be ashamed of shouting:
Yes, we're dreaming!
We dream constantly!
We dream without limiting our dreams!
We dream up to what is unimaginable!
We're always dreaming
And we expect everything...
We have learned the art of waiting;
This art of waiting
In endless nights filled with impotence!
We know how to wait and we expect everything... Everything!
And we want it all:
We want what's impossible
So we can get what's possible!
We want what is possible
So we can get what's impossible!
It's better like this:
All of you know it!
It's better like this
Even if, sometimes, we're too hasty;
Even if, sometimes, we're dirty, vile, despicable...
It's better like this,
In all of our human condition,
Both strange and simple.
It's better like this
Than being a herd of sheeple, subservient
To the calculations of those who shape interests...
That's why, if they ever dare to tell us: 'You're dreaming!'
Of course we are:
We're dreaming constantly... Always.
If they tell us: 'You're expecting too much!'
Of course we do:
We have learned to wait
And we expect it all.
If they tell us: 'You want too much!'
We want too much... More, everything!
If they tell us: 'You're in too great a rush!'
Yes, of course we are:
Walking, reaching that place, starting anew...
Yes, we're in a hurry!
