Somniem [English translation]

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!
