DOV'ERI TU QUEL GIORNO? (Where Were You That Day?)

There was a time when the firm belief
Of not being wrong but absolutely right
Was more diffused in the air than April’s pollen
An imaginary strength, but to doubt it was but a sign of cowardess.

No debate, but just the pretension
To believe we finally had the necessary grasp
To spit all the bitter pills they made us swallow
Straight out at their sour-milked faces

Where were you that day?
You do remember, don’t you?
Where were you that day?
I'm going to tell you:
You were singing in the choir louder than ever before
Without hesitation - now you know.
With an imperious tone your voice was covering
My very own voice betraying some perplexity...

Then came the day when from aloft a balcony
We've been ordered to chose between bread and cannons:
If we were so stupid to leave the answer to the choir
Then we were even more stupid... to not actually demand for it

Now that it's obvious and as clear as daylight
That all that “straightening up” craze was nothing but an orgy of words
There's a rush to serve those who are seriously strong and powerful
All of us so perfectly on time just like those “famous trains”...

Where were you that day?
That day that was yesterday
Where were you that day?
Can you tell me where? Won't you?
You open your mouth wide and sing over a brand new score,
A cycle is over and “step right up, who's turn is it next?”
Yesterday's brothers so hated today
But it's still the quickest one to stand up and sing who gets his way

“But I who might have been the most foolish amongst the fools,
Now I would have something to object to:
In order to run joyfully in support of those who are already victorious
One has to slip into a very nasty dress
That for centuries won't fade away,
Won't fade away
Won't fade away...”
