Translation of Italian in video: Women in black (from the text of the song by Marcella Bopccia, aka Heena Suman)
Women in the Gaza Strip, Southafrican women against apartheid, the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo waiting for the disappeared, In silence, dressed in black, women of the whole world are clamoring for the freedom to see their own children grow up, With our "Stop the occupation" in Tel Aviv, in London and in Haifa and Sidney, in Amsterdam and in Rome, in Belgrade and in New York. Against wars andconflicts between peoples, against racism militarism and the making and trading in weapons, and every kind of violence against.
We protest in silence because silence makes a bigger sound, it breaks down the walls of indifference, it opens the ears of those who don't want to hear. So Enough ! Enough of wars
Enough! of hypocrisy, Enough! of all the suffering we've had, Enough ! Women in black we are, united by a single thought we are Women in black
Sisters we are, in silence and in peace,We are women, we are women in black Women who have no home in Jenin destroyed by the Israelis, Little girls killed in Madrid, Women used as human shields, Cities occupied by the military, Vietnam on a daily basis, every hour, women who live in refugee camps and who are stoned for adultery, We want equal opportunities, We want more human rights, We want a world living in Peace, We want to love without any chains, "Away with war from History", "Between killing and dying there is a third way: to live" ! PEACE, LOVE...
