Questa È L'ora
Gen Rosso
This is the hour
Equality and freedom
Two tracks of our history
On the paths and bridges of civilizations.
Equality and freedom
Two colors of our life
The balance that raises dignity high.
Surpassing a hundred centuries of hatred
And burning a thousand pages of rust
Justice will step by step emerge.
When bread is shared among the people
And work for those who own nothing
The new word is fraternity
Word of mouth... word of mouth... fraternity!
Look up humanity
Fly high and then descend.
Glide over your cities
Let's all rise together.
This is the hour,
It's your moment
Time for fraternity.
Unity and diversity
A treasure in our hands
That we give to each other with simplicity:
On the sports tracks
In the arts and places of culture
At round tables and on subways.
There is more listening in parliament and in court
There is more affection in the hospital ward
Working in solidarity.
Word of mouth... word of mouth... fraternity!
Look up humanity
Fly high and then descend.
Glide over your cities
Let's all rise together.
This is the hour,
It's your moment
Time for fraternity.
