Pensa Lyrics in English Fabrizio Moro

Home / Lyrics Translation / Fabrizio Moro / Pensa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pensa by Fabrizio Moro from Italian to English.

There've been men who wrote pages

Notes from a life of priceless value

Irreplaceable because they exposed

The most corrupt of systems, too often ignored

Men or angels sent to Earth

To fight a war of feuds and of families

Scattered like marbles on an island of blood

That among many wonders, among lemons and seashells

Slaughters sons and daughters of a generation

Forced not to look, to speak in a low voice

To turn off the light, to comment in peace

Each bullet in the air, each corpse in a ditch

There've been men who step after step

Left a mark with courage and commitment

With dedication against an organized institution

Our thing, your thing, what's yours?

It's ours, the freedom to say

That eyes are made to look

The mouth to speak, the ears listen

Not just music, not just music

The head turns and adjusts the aim, reasons

Sometimes condemns, sometimes forgives

Simply

Think

Before shooting

Think

Before you speak and judge, try to think

Think

That it's up to you

Stay a moment, just a moment more

With your head in your hands

There've been men who died young

But aware that their ideas would last for centuries

Like hyperbolic words, intact and real like little miracles

Ideas of equality, ideas of education

Against any man who exercises oppression

Against his fellow man, against whoever's weaker

Against whoever buries conscience in concrete

Think

Before shooting

Think

Before you speak and judge, try to think

Think

That you can choose

You

Stay a moment, just a moment more

With your head in your hands

There've been men who kept going

Even though everything around was burned

Because deep down this life has no meaning

If you're scared of a bomb or a pointed gun

Men pass and a song passes

But nobody will ever stop the conviction

That justice, no

Isn't just an illusion

Think

Before shooting

Think

Before you speak and judge, try to think

Think

That you can choose

You

Stay a moment, just a moment more

With your head in your hands

Think

That you can choose

You

Stay a moment, just a moment more

With your head in your hands

SONG MEANING

“Pensa” (“Think”) is Fabrizio Moro’s passionate shout against violence and silence. Over a hypnotic guitar riff, he paints Sicily’s dazzling coastlines in stark contrast with the blood spilled by organized crime. The lyrics remember real-life heroes ‑ judges, activists, journalists ‑ who dared to expose the Mafia and paid with their lives, yet left “pages of inestimable value” that still inspire. Moro reminds us that our eyes, ears, and voice were made to see, hear, and speak the truth—never to look away.

The chorus is a simple command: Pensa! Think before you shoot, speak, or judge. Every listener is handed the power of choice, urged to hold their head in their hands for one extra second and decide whether to live in fear or stand for justice. The song is both elegy and rallying cry—proof that while people and melodies may pass, the conviction that justice is real can never be silenced.
