Translation of Il Libro In Una Mano, La Bomba Nell'altra from Italian to English
(At seven o'clock at the cultural center of ?)
The car you drive
Look closely, it's not yours
You pay for it every day
To the sewage manufacturer
Who dines with the saints
Who slip bombs into your pockets
And they make wars
That burn boys like you
Who fall with the dream of protecting a dream
And in church, the people who cry
Make room and squeeze together
In the front row seat
There's always a ruler
Who deals with the merchant
And dines with the saints
Who throw the bombs
And tally up the scores
And the cycle doesn't break
The war is not holy
But we are coming
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other (the bomb in the other)
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other (the bomb in the other, oh)
In the bread, there's the body
In the wine, there's the blood
In the gold, the demon
In humility, the saint
In the bread, there's the body
In the wine, there's the blood
In the gold, the demon
In humility, the saint
A ring sparkles
Of yellow metal
The merciful hand
Greets the council
On the wrist, cufflinks
Of red ruby
On a white suit
Of silk and linen
The purple is a mantle
Of glory and pride
On the chest, a cross
With its saint on top
"Don't immortalize me"
Said his song
"Don't wave me around"
Cried his lament
In the bread, there's the body
In the wine, there's the blood
May God forgive us
If we are praying
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other (the bomb in the other)
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other (the bomb in the other)
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
We have a book
Or a religion
We have the fire
We have reason
We will be greater
We will be more united
We will be stronger
With those who have struck us
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other (the bomb in the other)
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
The bomb in the other
With the book in one hand
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
