Canzone Del Maggio

Although our May
He did without your courage
If the fear of looking
He made you bow your chin
If the fire saved
Your Millecento
Even if you believe yourselves absolved
You are still involved.

And if you said to yourself
Nothing's happening,
Factories will reopen,
They will arrest some students
Convinced it was a game
Which we wouldn't have played much of
Try to believe yourself absolved
You are still involved.

Even if you are closed
Your doors on our face
The night that the panthers
They bit us on the butt
Let's leave each other in good faith
Massacre on the sidewalks
Even if you don't care now,
You were there that night.

And if in your neighborhoods
Everything remained as yesterday,
Without the barricades
Without injuries, without grenades,
If you took it at face value
The "truths" of television
Even if you absolved yourself then
You are still involved.

And if you are a believer now
May everything be as before
Because you voted again
Security, discipline,
Convinced of moving away
The fear of change
We will come to your doors again
And we will shout even louder
As much as you think you are absolved
You are forever involved,
As much as you think you are absolved
You are forever involved.
