Oh, oh, Martin!
You were the leader of Peace
You didn't know the injustice
Your only wish was always
The big way of the truth
To achieve the joy of Justice.
Oh, oh, Martin!

I had a dream yesterday, yesterday
We should dinner all together
All the races around the world
And the skin was only the skin
'Cause the skin was only the skin!
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

I had a dream yesterday, yesterday
I was walkin' on a path
And I wanted to cross
All the borders of the skin
And I was walkin' on a path
And I wanted to cross
All the borders from the skin!
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

Oh, oh, Martin!
You were the leader of Peace
You didn't know the injustice
Your only wish was always
The big way of the truth
To achieve the joy of Justice.
Oh, oh, Martin!

I can say that I never forgot our saviour
And I'll remind his work of peace forever
Because he was always our greatest leader
And He was our most courageous sailor
Against all the rage of the cruel traitor!

Oh, Martin Luther King!
You were really our king
Because you really were
The King of Our Peace!
And Peacefully, you went
Against the Human's Sin...
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

And I've decided that I'll always hate
The coward killers of our greatest hero
And I swear that I shall always remain sat
Over Their Saddest Lies for a better future!

Oh, oh, Martin!
You were the leader of Peace
You didn't know the injustice
Your only wish was always
The big way of the truth
To achieve the joy of Justice.
Oh, oh, Martin!

Versione italiana di Kiocciolina
OH, MARTIN!

Oh, oh, Martin!
Eri il capo della Pace
Non conoscevi l'ingiustizia
Il tuo solo desiderio fu sempre
La grande via della verità
Per raggiungere la gioia della Giustizia.
Oh, oh, Martin!

Ho fatto un sogno ieri, ieri
Dovevamo cenare tutti insieme
Tutte le razze del mondo
E il colore della pelle era solo un colore
Perché la pelle era solo pelle!
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

Ho fatto un sogno ieri, ieri
Stavo camminando lungo un sentiero
E volevo attraversare
Tutti i confini della razza!
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

Oh, oh, Martin!
Eri il capo della Pace
Non conoscevi l'ingiustizia
Il tuo solo desiderio fu sempre
La grande via della verità
Per raggiungere la gioia della Giustizia.
Oh, oh, Martin!

Posso dire che non ho mai dimenticato il nostro salvatore
E ricorderò il suo lavoro di pace per sempre
Perché lui fu sempre il nostro grandissimo capo
Ed era il nostro marinaio più coraggioso
Contro tutta la rabbia del crudele traditore!

Oh, Martin Luther King!
Eri davvero il nostro re
Perché eri veramente
Il Re della Nostra Pace!
E Pacificamente, andasti
Contro i Peccati Umani...
Oh, oh, Martin! Oh, oh, Martin!

Ed ho deciso che odierò sempre
I codardi assassini del nostro grandissimo eroe
E giuro che rimarrò sempre seduto
Sopra la loro tristissime menzogne per un futuro migliore!

Oh, oh, Martin!
Eri il capo della Pace
Non conoscevi l'ingiustizia
Il tuo solo desiderio fu sempre
La grande via della verità
Per raggiungere la gioia della Giustizia.
Oh, oh, Martin!

OH, MARTIN!

Oh, Martin !
You were the leader of peace
You didn’t know the Injustice
And your only wish was always
The great way of the truth
To achieve the Joy of Justice.
Oh, Martin !

I had a dream yesterday, yesterday
We should dinner all together
All the races ‘round the world
And the skin was only the skin
‘Cause the skin is only the skin
Oh, Martin ! Oh, Martin !

But I want to say to you
That you are my youth
And now, I am under the ground
That’s why I wanna hear the sound
Of the Great Joy of Freedom
And It will be a fair Kingdom
With your peace as our queen.
Oh, Martin ! Oh, Martin !

I had a dream yesterday, yesterday
I was walking on a path
And I wanted to cross
All the borders of the skin.
Oh, Martin ! Oh, Martin !

And I was walking on a path
And I wanted to cross
All the borders from the skin.
Oh, Martin ! Oh, Martin !

Martin Luther King…
You were our greatest king
Because you really were
The True King of our peace.
And Peacefully, you went
Against all the humans’ sin.
Oh, Martin ! Oh, Martin
