Every day our students watch TV and see pictures of shipwrecked people arriving on our Island Sicily. They ask questions, they ask why, and we, adults, must answer honestly.
Pupils of the 4th grades C-D-E of 3° Circolo Luigi Pirandello di Bagheria Italy, discussed poverty, hunger, war but also they discussed how important it is to welcome and protect those fleeing from fear.
Singing this song, they want to pass to you their feelings.
Enjoy our performance and good luck to everyone
MEDITERRANEAMENTE
Music and lyrics: Giuliano Ciabatta
Take a sheet of paper, build a boat
Then you put it in the sea and sail it
And plowing the waves towards distant dreams
Think of how many children are coming,
Think of how many adventures between hope and fear!
Chour 1
Mediterraneanly look how many people
Like little fish in the current
In this roundabout
They look like dolphins
Among the bubbles and the tides that always go up,
Further up, then down,
Further down, this way
Over there
Without borders on,
More up then down,
Further down. This way
Beyond without borders.
Take a sheet of paper, let's build a box
We set up desks and a schoolteacher
Many different faces and somewhat strange languages
Now close enough to understand them,
Think of this adventure, no more fear.
Chorus 2
Mediterraneanly look how many people
Like birds in the current
In this circle They look like seagulls
Even against the wind They already know how to fly and go up
More up then down,
Further down. Here
Over there
Without borders on,
More up then down,
Further down. Here
Over there
Mediterraneanly think how many people
Like little fish
Mediterraneanly look at those people
Like little birds
Mediterraneanly think how many people,
Mediterraneanly look at those people
Without Borders,
Without borders,
without borders.
