NON POSSIAMO CHIUDERE GLI OCCHI

Eros Ramazzotti, Claudio Guidetti - Eros Ramazzotti, Adelio Cogliati

(unofficial english version)
MY NAME IS NINO AND I’M TEN YEARS OLD
I LIVE IN MORE THAN A MILLION OUTSKIRTS
I HAVE BLACK, WHITE, AND YELLOW RELATIVES
AND EVERY DAY I SUFFER FROM BULLYING

MY STORY IS A SCREAM FROM MUTE LIPS
ONE OF THOSE OVERLOOKED STORIES

MY NAME IS NINA AND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME
FROM WHEN I WAS LITTLE THAT AGAINST ME
THEY RAISED THEIR VOICES AND ALSO THEIR HANDS
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS INSIDE

MY STORY IS A CRY THAT NEVER ENDS
FOR SO LONG I FEEL TO SAY

WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE
WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
TELL IT TO WHO DOESN’T WANT TO SEE
THE AWAKENING OF THE CONSCIENCE CAN’T WAIT ANY MORE
THIS WILL BE THE UPSETTING NEWS
WHEN IT ARRIVES

I’M YOUR MOTHER AND MY NAME IS EARTH
I RAISED ALL OF YOU MYSELF
REMEMBER LONG AGO HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS
BEFORE THEY DISFIGURED MY FACE

MY STORY IS A YELL OF SUFFERING
IN THE MIDDLE OF TOO MUCH INDIFFERENCE

WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING THERE
WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
TELL IT TO WHO DOESN’T WANT TO SEE
WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
LOOK HOW MUCH PAIN THERE IS
WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
TELL IT STRONGLY TO CERTAIN PEOPLE

WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
WE CAN’T DO IT, YOU KNOW IT
NOW MORE THAN EVER....

WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
LOOK HOW MUCH PAIN THERE IS
WE CAN’T CLOSE OUR EYES
TELL IT STRONGLY TO CERTAIN PEOPLE
THE AWAKENING OF THE CONSCIENCE CAN’T WAIT ANY MORE
THISW WILL BE THE UPSETTING NEWS
WHEN IT ARRIVES

MY NAME IS NINO AND I’M TEN YEARS OLD
DON’T EVER FORGET ME
