 But, Ilaria Graziano is cool!

This is one of my favorite artists! (great lyrics) *but the song is sung in Italian – even more beautiful

I can’t be cool (Italian) by: Ilaria Graziano

No credit to that or to the moment of understanding?
Deciding not to remain immovable?
The voice that sells riches in vain,
The deception of the power which consumes it, drives it… 

I can’t be cool between the chains,
I can’t be cool at eyes shut(?)
I can’t be cool under the change of a profound slumber,
a deed of war in the name of God.

You think of possessing it, your life,
Under the control of greedy men?
The voice that desires to find peace
is obscured by a powerful sovereign of darkness.

I can’t be cool without words,
I can’t be cool without reacting,
I can’t be cool because I know already that indifference
Closes the gateway of humanity.

I can’t be cool between the chains,
I can’t be cool at eyes shut,
I can’t be cool under the change of a world submerged
in the violence of mankind.

If you want another truth,
a greater gift,
it will be your liberty.
Listen!
