Some are black and some are white, Some are wrong and some are right,

C chi bianco e chi nero chi nel torto e chi nel vero

Some get rich and some stay poor,

Ricco e povero, in mare o in terra

Some make peace and some make war.

c chi fa pace, c chi fa guerra

Some are yellow, some are brown, Some are up and some are down,

C chi giallo e chi marrone c il buono e il cattivone

Some go far, some fall behind,

C chi scende e c chi sale

Some are mean and some are kind.

chi vuol bene e chi vuol male

Some are reds and some are greens, Some stay quiet, some make scenes,

C il rosso e c il verde c chi vince e c chi perde

Some say yes and some say no, Some will tell you where to go.

c chi grida e c chi prega chi si preoccupa, chi se ne frega

But underneath our different skin, The same heart beats, deep within. For brothers, sisters all are we, Meant to live in harmony.

Ma sotto le pelli di ogni colore batte sempre lo stesso cuore Fratello e sorella ognuno sia siam fatti per vivere in armonia
