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
