Unite Lyrics in English by Dub Inc
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Unite by Dub Inc from French to English.
Non ti ricordi di Ken Saro Wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Il poeta nigeriano
The Nigerian poet
Un eroe dei nostri tempi
A hero of our times
Non ti ricordi di Ken Saro Wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Perché troppo ha amato
Because he loved too much
L'hanno ammazzato davanti a tutti
They killed him in front of everyone
Bugiardi dentro
Liars inside
Fuori assassini
Outside murderers
Vigliacchi in divisa
Cowards in uniform
Generazioni intere
Entire generations
Ingannate per sempre
Deceived forever
A sangue freddo
In cold blood
Ken saro wiwa è morto
Ken Saro Wiwa is dead
Evviva ken saro wiwa
Long live Ken Saro Wiwa
Non è il tetto che perde
It's not the roof that leaks
Non sono le zanzare
It's not the mosquitoes
Non è il cibo meschino
It's not the meager food
Non basterebbe a un cane
It wouldn't be enough for a dog
Non è il nulla del giorno
It's not the nothingness of the day
Che piano sprofonda
That slowly sinks
Nel vuoto della notte
Into the void of the night
Sono le menzogne
It's the lies
Che ti rodono l'anima
That gnaw at your soul
In agguato, come sempre
Lurking, as always
La paura
The fear
La paura di morire
The fear of dying
Non ti ricordi di ken saro wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Il poeta nigeriano
The Nigerian poet
Un eroe dei nostri tempi
A hero of our times
Non ti ricordi di ken saro wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Perché troppo ha amato
Because he loved too much
L'hanno ammazzato davanti a tutti
They killed him in front of everyone
Io non mi arrendo
I don't give up
Mi avrete soltanto
You'll only have me
Con un colpo alle spalle
With a shot in the back
Io non dimentico
I don't forget
E non mi arrendo
And I don't give up
Io non dimentico
I don't forget
È nell'oblio che un uomo
It's in oblivion that a man
È nell'indifferenza che un uomo
It's in indifference that a man
Un uomo vero
A true man
Muore davvero
Truly dies
Quanto grande è il cuore
How great is the heart
Di Ken Saro Wiwa
Of Ken Saro Wiwa
Forse l'Africa intera
Perhaps all of Africa
Il nulla del giorno
The nothingness of the day
Sprofonda piano
Sinks slowly
Nel vuoto della notte
Into the void of the night
Avete ucciso Wiwa
You killed Wiwa
Ladri in limousine
Thieves in limousines
Che dio vi maledica
May God curse you
Pagherete tutto
You'll pay everything
Pagherete caro
You'll pay dearly
Non ti ricordi di ken saro wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Il poeta nigeriano
The Nigerian poet
Un eroe dei nostri tempi
A hero of our times
Non ti ricordi di ken saro wiwa?
Don't you remember Ken Saro Wiwa?
Perché troppo ha amato
Because he loved too much
L'hanno ammazzato davanti a tutti
They killed him in front of everyone
Bugiardi dentro
Liars inside
Fuori assassini
Outside murderers
Vigliacchi in divisa
Cowards in uniform
Generazioni intere
Entire generations
Ingannate per sempre
Deceived forever
A sangue freddo
In cold blood

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Vigliacchi — Cowards
Vigliacchi translates to "cowards" in English. It's a strong and emotionally charged word that stands out in the lyrics.
In the context of "Unite," the word is used to describe those in power who are responsible for injustices, specifically mentioning "Vigliacchi in divisa" (cowards in uniform). This direct and accusatory language makes it a powerful and memorable term within the song's message of resistance and remembrance.
