Non possiamo chiudere gli occhi [English translation]

My name’s Nino and I’m ten

I live in more than a thousand suburbs

I have relatives black, white and yellow

And every day I’m subjected to abuses

My story is a scream on dumb mouths

One of the unsaid stories

My name’s Nino and you have to listen to me

Since I exist

They raise up the voice and even the hands on me

You don’t know how it hurts inside

My story is an endless scream

How long do I hear you say

We can’t close our eyes

Watch what’s happening there

We can’t close our eyes

Tell it to who don’t want to see

The awakening of the consciences won’t delay anymore

When it’ll comes, this will be the shocking news

I’m your mother and my name’s Earth

I grew you all up

Remember how much I was beautiful

Before they defaced my face

My story’s a scream of suffering

Between too much indifference

We can’t close our eyes

Watch what’s happening there

We can’t close our eyes

Tell it to who don’t want to see

We can’t close our eyes

Tell it loud to certain people

We can’t close our eyes

We can’t do it

You know

Now more than ever

We can’t close our eyes

Watch how much pain there

We can’t close our eyes

Tell it loud to certain people

The awakening of the consciences won’t delay anymore

When it’ll comes, this will be the shocking news

My name’s Nino and I’m ten

Don’t you ever forget me!

My name’s Nino and I’m ten

Don’t you ever forget me!

My name’s Nino and I’m ten

Don’t you ever forget me!
