E
If nothing happens
B7
They will electrocute us right after midnight
Therefore here I am, right with you
E
With love and with open heart
B7 E
As I was yesterday
E
Don't cry Dante
B7
For many many tears have been wasted
As your mother's tears have been already wasted
E
For seven years
B7 E
And never did any good
B7 E
So son, instead of crying
Be strong, be brave
B7 E
So as to be able to comfort your mother
E
And when you want
B7
To distract her from the discouraging soleness
You take her for a long walk
E
In the quiet countryside
B7 E
Gathering flowers here and there
E
And resting under the shade of trees
B7
Beside the music of the waters
The peacefulness of nature
E
She will enjoy it very much
B7 E
And you will surely too
E
But son you must remember
Don't use all yourself
B7
But down yourself just one step
E
To help the weak ones at your side
E
The weaker ones that cry for help
B7
The persecuted and the victims
They are your friends - friends of yours and mine
E
They are the comrades that fight
B7 E
Yes and sometimes fall
E
Just as your father
B7
Your father and Bartolo have fallen
Have fought and fell
E
Yesterday, for the conquest of joy
B7 E
Of freedom for all
B7 E
In the struggle of life you'll find
You'll find more love
B7 E
And in the struggle you will be loved also
