Son morto con altri cento Son morto ch'ero bambino Passato per il camino E adesso sono nel vento E adesso sono nel vento Ad Auschwitz c'era la neve Il fumo saliva lento Nel freddo giorno d'inverno E adesso sono nel vento E adesso sono nel vento Ad Auschwitz tante persone Ma un solo grande silenzio È strano non riesco ancora A sorridere qui nel vento A sorridere qui nel vento Ah, uh Ah, ah Io chiedo come può un uomo Uccidere un suo fratello Eppure siamo a milioni In polvere qui nel vento Ancora tuona il cannone Ancora non è contento Di sangue la belva umana E ancora ci porta il vento E ancora ci porta il vento Io chiedo quando sarà Che l' uomo potrà imparare A vivere senza ammazzare E il vento si poserà E il vento si poserà Ah, ah, ah Uh, uh
