Io sono nato qui
dove i palazzi non affacciano sul mare,
dove è più facile star zitti che parlare,
dove si finge di cercare un altro amore
ma si è più onesti a soffocare per il dolore.
Io sono nato qui
dove la pioggia lava il sangue dalle mura,
dove il coraggio non uccide la paura,
dove anche il vento non si muove sulle vele
ma passa solo per sfogliare il suo giornale.
E la bellezza, la bellezza, passa sotto i muri
sulla faccia degli anziani che raccontano ai bambini.
La bellezza, la bellezza, è sepolta
ma domani sorgerà dalle rovine.
La bellezza non alza la voce
ma si vede anche se non fai luce.
Io sono nato qui
dove chi passa stringe i pugni e taglia corto,
dove lo Stato passa solo se c'è un morto,
dove la musica non esce da una viola
ma dal tamburo freddo di una pistola.
Io sono nato qui
dove le vele hanno una rotta da seguire,dove chi sogna di poterci rimanere,
dove chi crede che è possibile cambiare
e da un balcone vedere persino il mare.
