IF ONLY (I WISH)


If only -
from a cloud, a rainbow'd come down upon us
If only -
this world could be fixed
If only
a day'd spring up out of the raging storm
If only
the gift would never be lost
If only
the desert would sprout grass.
If only
we'd yet sit under the shade of the fig tree.

Chorus:
If only
we'd not suffer and each man'dl love his brother
If only
the gates of Eden would again be opened
If only
East and West would mix together - if only
If only
we could renew our days here as long ago.

If only
nation would no longer lift sword against nation
If only
we wouldn't abandon the path of hope
If only
the human'd be compassionate till evening
If only
there'd be a chance for love.

Chorus:
If only
we'd not suffer and each man'dl love his brother
If only
the gates of Eden would again be opened
If only
East and West would mix together - if only
If only
we could renew our days here as long ago.

SE VORRAI

Se Vorrai
verrà la quiete dopo la tempesta.
Se Vorrai
i doni che ci Dai non getterem.
Se Vorrai
rifiorirà il deserto, come in festa.
Se Vorrai
qui sotto il fico, all'ombra siederem.
Se Vorrai,
fratelli non più male si faran.
Se Vorrai,
s'apran le porte del Giardin dell'Eden.

Se Vorrai
Oriente ed Occidente s'uniran.
Se Vorrai
noi rivivremo i Giorni della Fede.
Se Vorrai
non si faranno i popoli la guerra.
Se Vorrai
non Farci la Speranza abbandonar.

Se Vorrai,
ci sia Pietà per l'Uomo sulla Terra.
Se Vorrai,
la possibilità Dacci d'amar.
Se Vorrai

TOMARA

Tomara
QUE DAS NUVENS DESÇA O ARCO ÍRIS
Tomara
QUE ESTE MUNDO TENHA CONSERTO
Tomara
QUE DO VENDAVAL BROTE UM BOM DIA
Tomara
QUE NÃO SE PERCA ESTE PRESENTE
Tomara
QUE DO DESERTO BROTE A VEGETAÇÃO
Tomara
QUE AINDA SENTEMOS À SOMBRA DA FIGUEIRA

Tomara
QUE UM IRMÃO NÃO AGRIDA A OUTRO
Tomara
QUE SE ABRAM AS PORTAS DO JARDIM DO EDEN
Tomara
QUE SE UNAM LESTE E OESTE
Tomara
QUE SE RENOVEM OS DIAS COMO ANTIGAMENTE

Tomara
QUE NENHUM POVO AGRIDA O OUTRO
Tomara
QUE NÃO CESSE O CAMINHO DA ESPERANÇA
Tomara
QUE O SER HUMANO SEJA PIEDOSO ATÉ À TARDE
Tomara
QUE HAJA CHANCE PARA O AMOR
