Annotation
Italian "The other day in Porto Marghera / The workers went on strike / They were the same ones who shouted / Three months ago for better wages / This time they were asking for peace / With the same strength as yesterday / Because peace means for everyone / The boss who fired / Is the same one who sends people to die / Is the same one who kills in Texas / In Rhodesia, in the Congo and in Vietnam / The comrades who went on strike / They said that this ugly war / Must be the last war / The boss who fired / Is the same one who sends people to die / Is the same one who kills in Texas / In Rhodesia, in the Congo and in Vietnam / The comrades who went on strike / They said that this ugly war / Must be the last war" [auto-translation used] "L'altro giorno a Porto Marghera / Gli operai han scioperato / Eran gli stessi che hanno gridato / Tre mesi fa per salari migliori / Questa volta chiedevano pace / Con la stessa forza di ieri / Perché pace vuol dire per tutti / Il padrone che ha licenziato / È lo stesso che manda a morire / È lo stesso che ammazza nel Texas / In Rhodesia, nel Congo e in Vietnam / I compagni che han scioperato / Hanno detto che 'sta brutta guerra / Deve essere l'ultima…
