Uomo nero [English translation]

Black man, who are you?

In fairy tales, you never win

Black man, you know it

There are no rights or duties for your kind

The closed eyes of people

make time stop and forget that

someone who is different, is just like everyone else

With musical notes on our hands

(Living in the colours)

We can cry out loud for freedom

(Living in the colours)

By yourself, free your life and go

It will dress us (in this line, there's hardly any sense in Italian as well, literally -it will put clothes on us. Probably meaning that we will be blessed with something, but the subject is not clear)

In the war of colours

(Living in the colours)

We will sing the truth

(Living in the colours)

We're the same, we're alive

So let life be

Happy music is feeding us

since it doesn't have any colours

Black man

(Living in the colours)

Black man

(Living in the colours)

Black man, what are you up to?

Your voice gives me the chills

Black man, you'll see

Run like the wind, dance, you can do it

New streets, fresh ideas,

Someone would like to have darker skin

We will say it, we feel it now

It's easy to sing this

In the war of colours

(Living in the colours)

We will sing the truth

(Living in the colours)

We're the same, we're alive

Let life be

Music, please, make us happy with a song

since you don't have any colours

Black man, who are you?

(Living in the colours)

In fairy tales, you never win

(Living in the colours)

(Black man)

The colours are to blame

(Living in the colours)

(Black man)

The rainbow will win

(Living in the colours)

(Black man)

The colours are to blame

(Living in the colours)

(Black man)

The rainbow will win

(Living in the colours)

(Black man)

The world is just about colours

(Living in the colours)

The rainbow will win

(Living in the colours)

By yourself, free your life and go

It will dress us

In the war of colours

(Living in the colours)

We will play the truth

(Living in the colours)

We're the same, we're alive

Let life be

Music, please, make us happy with a song...

With musical notes on our hands

(Living in the colours)

We will sing the truth

(Living in the colours)

We are all the same, we're alive...

Let life be...
