Puntami a blowtorch eyes
Versa acid in my throat
Pull the fabrics of my lungs in my blood
Affogami
chokin my child in front
my eyes Let me see how he struggles my children dying
Mutila
Let the daily pain is their only playmate
spares nothing.
destroy my health so he can not feed my family
Look die of hunger, 'you not to blame, even
not dream of apologizing
poisons our water, is' born Let us curse God monsters
stopping the growth of our children
ignore our cries for
seventeen
Teach me that my anger is useless, as my tears
Prove to me beyond all doubt
That there is no justice al mondo
Tu, ricca multinazionale americana
Io, vittima del gas di Bhopal
