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
