Lyrics
Inginocchiato
Ingonocchiato
Dentro un mucchio
di pietre rotte e legno vecchio
L'uomo piange
L'uomo piange
Dentro un mucchio di pietre rotte
e legno vecchio che lui chiama casa sua
Inginocchiato
Inginocchiato
In terra bagnato di lacrime
Lacrime scendono
Lacrime scendono
Rosse Rosse stelle nei suoi occhi
(translation into Translation):
Kneeling
Kneeling
In a pile of broken stone and splintered timber
The man is weeping
The man is weeping
In a pile of broken stone and splintered timber he called his home
Kneeling
Kneeling
In earth wet with tears
Tears fall
Tears fall
Red Red Star in his eyes
