Love And War / Amore e guerra
When I sing about love and war
I don't really know what I'm saying
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord
And mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Seen a lot of young men go to war
And leave a lot of young brides waiting
I've watched them try to explain it to their kids
And I've seen a lot of them failing
They try to tell them and they try to explain
Why daddy won't ever come home again
Daddy won't ever come home
Daddy won't ever come home
I said a lot of things I can't take back
But I don't really know if I wanna
And songs about love, I sang songs about war
Since the backstreets of Toronto
I sang for justice and I hit a bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Saddest thing in the whole wide world
Is to break the heart of your lover
I made a mistake and I did it again
And we struggled to recover
I sang in anger, hit another bad chord
But I still try to sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Sing about love and war
Love and war
When I sing about love and war
I don't really know what I'm saying
I've been in love and I've seen a lot of war
Seen a lot of people praying
They pray to Allah and they pray to the Lord
And mostly they pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Pray about love and war
Love and war

Quando canto di amore e guerra
Non so davvero cosa sto dicendo
Sono stato innamorato e ho visto molte guerre
Ho visto molte persone pregare
Pregano Allah e pregano il Signore
Pregano quasi sempre per amore e guerra
Pregano per amore e guerra
Pregano per amore e guerra
Ho visto molti ragazzi partire per la guerra
E lasciare tante giovani spose ad aspettare
Le ho viste cercare di spiegarlo ai loro bambini
E ne ho viste molte fallire
Cercano di dire e spiegar loro
Perché papà non tornerà più a casa
Papà non tornerà più a casa
Papà non tornerà più a casa
Ho detto molte cose che non posso rimangiarmi
Ma non so davvero se vorrei farlo
E canzoni sull'amore, cantavo canzoni sulla guerra
Sin dai vicoli di Toronto
Ho cantato per la giustizia e ho preso l'accordo sbagliato
Ma cerco ancora di cantare di amore e guerra
Cantare di amore e guerra
Cantare di amore e guerra
La cosa più triste dell'intero mondo
È spezzare il cuore di chi ami
Ho fatto un errore e l'ho rifatto ancora
E abbiamo lottato per recuperare
Ho cantato con rabbia, ho preso un altro accordo sbagliato
Ma cerco ancora di cantare di amore e guerra
Cantare di amore e guerra
Cantare di amore e guerra
Amore e guerra
Quando canto di amore e guerra
Non so davvero cosa sto dicendo
Sono stato innamorato e ho visto molte guerre
Ho visto molte persone pregare
Pregano Allah e pregano il Signore
Pregano quasi sempre per amore e guerra
Pregano per amore e guerra
Pregano per amore e guerra
Amore e guerra
