[Strofa 1: Franco Battiato]
We cannot excuse you
For your behaviour
The great China
The divine empire
Has fallen into dishonour
Politicians kill the monk
Refusing to listen and to reason
Keep your hands off Tibet now

We cannot excuse you
For your behaviour
The great China
The divine empire
Has fallen into dishonour
Politicians kill the monk
Refusing to listen and to reason
Keep your hands off Tibet now
