[English]
Whether you're from here or elsewhere
Small in stature or big-hearted
Your blood is the same color
As his, never forget
As far back as I can remember
War has never been worth it
And your idea was the same as mine
The same
Your idea was the same as mine, likewise
Starting tomorrow
No guns, no guns, no guns
It gets us nowhere
No guns, no guns, no guns
The time is welcome (The time has come)
The time of the white flag (The time of the white flag)
We can't rewrite history, just the future, and I'll go see how our children are doing
And when all the countries of the world
Dance in the same circle
I won't forget the time lost, the morals and virtue of these men who had none
I won't forget the time lost, the common sense and virtue of this world that had none left
Starting tomorrow
No guns, no guns, no guns
It gets us nowhere
No guns, no guns, no guns
...
