And the lay volunteersE i volontari laici
Were going down the stairs in their pajamasScendevano in pigiama per le scale
To help the prisonersPer aiutare i prigionieri
They made bandages with sheetsFacevano le bende con lenzuola
And the astonished citizensE i cittadini attoniti
Pretended not to understand anythingFingevano di non capire niente
To help the desertersPer aiutare i disertori
And those who escaped to the WestE chi scappava in occidente

The last call is to forget and the Punic merchantsL'ultimo appello è da dimenticare e i commercianti punici
Took mountain pathsPrendevano sentieri di montagna
To avoid the customs officersPer evitare i doganieri
And reach AbyssiniaE arrivare in Abissinia

China was far awayLa Cina era lontana
The pride of fantastic female workersL'orgoglio di fantastiche operaie
Who worked with silkChe lavoravano la seta
The bicycles of ShanghaiLe biciclette di Shanghai
