OPEN THE WINDOW
Open the window, children
Open the window now
Open the window, children
Open the window,
Let the dove fly in
Mama and Papa are fighting like snakes
Baby is crying like her heart will break
Neighbors lock their doors, build fences so high
Don’t see what’s to discover on the other side
Borders ’round countries, borders’ round the skies
The only border close you in is the border ’round your mind
Some people have money, some people have none
What’s the use of money if your heart’s gone numb
This big old world is in a great big mess
Let’s open the window, find peace and rest
ITALIANO

RITORNELLO:
Aprite la finestra bambini,
Aprite la finestra ora
Aprite la finestra bambini
Aprite la finestra que entri la colomba
STROPHE:
1) C’e un bel panorama fuori
Che la gente si voglia piu bene!
2) Che sparisca l’egoismo
Che nasca un’era di armonia!
3) Anche s’e buio, il sole splende
Da una nuvola vedo un mondo colorato!
4) La scuola e finita, evviva le vacanze!
Il mare ci aspetta, e anche la montagna!

ONLY LOVE WILL DO
CHORUS
Can you feel it
Feel what love will do
Love, sweet love, only love will do
VERSE
Sly little devil on one shoulder whispering in my ear
Angel on the other tells me what I need to hear
CHORUS
Can you feel it….
VERSE
Come on people are we listening to that devil in our ear
Distracting our attention from the love we got right here
CHORUS
Oh, I can feel it….
