Cosa succede che succede in giro
chi vede bianco chi vede nero
chi resta in casa chi se ne va in strada
che cosa conta che cosa è vero?
mi han detto che per tenere alti i consumi
è necessario far morire i fiumi
ho letto che le marche dei diamanti
han provocato guerre devastanti
che il succo d'ananas è insanguinato
ed il caffè ha un gusto assai salato
che c'è chi vive nella povertà
fabbricando simboli di povertà
che un brevetto di una medicina
vale più della vita di una bambina
posso capire che così si salvaguarda il lavoro
vorrei vedere fosse figlia loro
la conoscenza e la tecnologia
a molte strade hanno aperto la via
il commercio è uno strumento di libertà
ma nel rispetto dei diritti e della dignità
della diversità e dell'ambiente
allora forza venite gente
che le speranze non si sono spente
allora forza venite gente
noi dobbiamo convincerli che la vita vale
una vita soltanto più di una multinazionale
noi dobbiamo convincerli che la strada buona
è il rispetto totale dei diritti di una persona
ho saputo che molte banche
coi risparmi delle persone
ci finanziano l'industria bellica
il narcotraffico e la distruzione
cosa devo fare mammà
cosa devo fare mammà
vi prego signori che state a sentire
voi che avete il denaro voi che avete il potere
voi che avete l'accesso che guidate il progresso
voi che state pensando "chi cazzo è questo fesso?"
che fabbricate e vendete prodotti scaduti
che i vostri figli li mandate nei migliori istituti
che inquinate le anime le strade le acque ed i prati
e i vostri giardini sono tutti curati
certe volte io mi sento male
ma le speranze non si sono spente
allora forza venite gente
noi dobbiamo convincerli che la vita vale
una vita soltanto più di una multinazionale
noi dobbiamo convincerli che la strada buona
è il rispetto totale dei diritti di una persona
Jovanotti, real name Lorenzo Cherubini (Rome, September 27, 1966), is an Italian singer-songwriter considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary Italian music. His career began in the 1980s, launched by Claudio Cecchetto, and was characterized by a blend of rap and world music, always interpreted in an hip hop and funky style. Over the years, Jovanotti has progressively evolved his musical style, moving closer to the Italian songwriting tradition with lyrics that address philosophical, religious, and political themes. Alongside his musical career, Jovanotti has distinguished himself for his strong social and political commitment. A convinced pacifist, he has collaborated with organizations such as Emergency, Amnesty International, the Anti-Vivisection League (LAV), Nigrizia, and Data. He participated in demonstrations against public debt in the 1990s and in the movements No Excuses and Make Poverty History, taking part in Live8. Among his most representative songs are "My Girl", "Without Fear", "The Postman", "Boy of the Sea" and "The Essential".
