Se io lavoro

If I work it's because I don't know what to do
I have few friends to spend the day with
And I wouldn't want people to talk badly about me
To say that I'm just trying to make money
Because that's not true, it has never been true.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter
I sing the day of the earth in celebration
And so serene
I stay here waiting for the evening.

If I work it's because I don't know what to do
Wasting time means falling behind
And if I had to be born again another time
I would ask the Lord to give me the strength of a farmer
And I certainly don't lack the joy of living.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter
I sing the day of the earth in celebration
And so serene
I stay here waiting for the evening.
