La regola - Angelo Branduardi

Come agnelli in mezzo ai lupi

Io vi mando…

Con candore di colomba,

con l’astuzia del serpente

e non portate borsa

n?

mantello n?

calzari

e non portate pane

n?

bastone n?

denaro.

Lascerete il padre,

la madre ed i fratelli,

lascerete i figli,

le vostre case e i campi.

Non cercate il lusso delle vesti

In questo mondo,

amatevi l’un l’altro,

tra voi ditevi fratelli.

Per servire voi veniste,

polvere il denaro,

accogliete nella gioia

l’uomo che a voi venga,

sia l’amico che il nemico,

il ladro ed il brigante.

Nulla vi trattenga,

vi divida, vi separi.

Like lambs among wolves

I send you…

With the whiteness of a dove,

with the cunning of the snake

and don't carry a bag

n?

cloak n?

shoes

and bring no bread

n?

stick n?

money.

You will leave the father,

the mother and the brothers,

you will leave your children,

your homes and fields.

Don't look for the luxury of clothes

In this world,

love each other,

among you, call yourselves brothers.

To serve you you came,

dust the money,

welcome in joy

the man who comes to you,

both friend and enemy,

the thief and the brigand.

Nothing holds you back,

divide you, separate you.
