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

fatte a Zabaldano: 15 giugno 2019

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!
