[Chorus]
With hearts filled with pain
We look above us and say:
"Give us peace and happiness"
[Verse 1]
May children play joyfully
Without hearing the noise of war
May their parents work well
Rebuilding the land
May the dead fields be fertile
And feed the starving people
May the ruins fall end the buildings be reborn
Great and beautifully decorated
[Chorus]
With hearts filled with pain
We look above us and say:
"Give us peace and happiness"
[Verse 2]
May the cannonades be replaced by birdsong
And the lamenting and screams by excited laughter
May the hate, the wrath and the vindictiveness
Be substituted by love and friendship
May all humans work
To save the seas, the earth and the air
May they discard the tools of death
All weapons have to fall
[Chorus]
With hearts filled with pain
We look above us and say:
"Give us peace and happiness"
