NATALE A SAN CRISTOBALCHRISTMAS IN SAN CRISTOBAL
  
Hanno ucciso a San CristobalThey killed in San Cristobal,
Lo dice la radio e lo dicono le sireneThe radio and the sirens say it
Che vanno e vengonoThat go away and come back.
Sono morti Pepe e CarlosPepe and Carlos died
E la mamma di Amaris di fianco a dona FranciscaAnd Amaris’ mother is near dona Francisca
E José è volato viaAnd Josè flew away
  
Escucha, mi vida, escuchaEscucha, mi vida, escucha (Listen, my life, listen)
Come volano grida e paroleHow cries and words do fly
Per quanto tempo andrà avantiHow long will the same song
La stessa canzone?Go on?
  
È Natale a San CristobalIt’s Christmas in San Cristobal
I soldati ci guardano e marciano lungo le stradeThe soldiers look at us and march along the roads
E i vetri tremanoAnd glasses shake
Sono buie le cattedraliThe cathedral are dark
I vecchi si incontrano agli angoli dei cimiteriThe old men meet in the corners of the cemeteries
E le donne preganoAnd the women pray.
  
Escucha, mi vida, escuchaEscucha, mi vida, escucha
Come volano pianti e paroleHow cries and words fly
Per quanto staremo a cantareHow long will we stay and sing
La stessa canzone?the same song?
  
Na na na na naNa na na na na
Na na na na naNa na na na na
Notte nera, notte che andràDark night, night which will go away
No llores niño, no llores mi amorNo llores niño, no llores mi amor (don’t cry child, don’t cry my love)
  
Piove forte a San CristobalIt’s raining hardly at San Cristobal
Su preti stanchi, su pozzi e case bruciateOn tired priests, on wells and burnt houses
Su capanne e su villaggiOn huts and on villages.
Cade acqua sui marciapiediThe water falls down o the pavements
Sui turisti stranieri e i feriti negli ospedaliOn the foreign tourists and the injured in the hospitals
Sui fucili e sugli altariOn the rifles and on the altars
  
Escucha, mi vida, escuchaEscucha, mi vida, escucha
Come volano spari e paroleHow cries and words fly
Per quanto tempo andrà avantiHow long will the same song
La stessa canzone?Go on?
