From Janis: When Danita mentioned on Facebook that she’d love to hear this in Italian, I asked her to create a translation and a video. She assumed it would be a fairly easy task, but as we’ve both learned in life, nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Still, with the help of shopkeepers, friends, and acquaintances, she created this marvelous piece! See below for the translation.
From Danita: Special thanks to Alyson Garvey, April Lee, Elizabeth Norma Miller, Emma Kate Malcolm, Kylie Caraco, Monica Hunold, Peter Grey, Sara Cecere, Sherrie Ann Grieve, the great people at Italy Made Easy, the shop owners around Borgo Val di Taro who allowed me to use their photos, our mayor (also in the photos), and friends from a Facebook group, who sent me pictures of their lives during and post “lockdown” here in Italy.
Andrà Tutto Bene, as adapted by Danita Zanrè
Credo che andrà tutto bene
Io so che andrà tutto bene
Quando viviamo tutti uniti
Sì, andrà tutto bene
Quando i nostri cari saranno con noi
allora la paura svanirà
E i venti di guerra
non soffieranno più
Sì, andrà tutto bene
Credo che andrà tutto bene
Io so che andrà tutto bene
Quando viviamo tutti uniti
Sì, andrà tutto bene
Viviamo ogni giorno come l’ultimo
Ma tutto passa e si trasforma
Balleremo, canteremo
in quella primavera eterna
Sì, andrà tutto bene.
Credo che andrà tutto bene
Io so che andrà tutto bene
Quando viviamo tutti uniti
Sì, andrà tutto bene
Direct English translation
I believe everything will be okay
I know, everything will be okay
When we all live in unity
Yes, everything will be okay
When our loved ones are with us
Then our fear will vanish
And the winds of war
Will not blow any more
Yes, everything will be okay
I believe everything will be okay
Yes I know, everything will be okay
When we all live in unity
Yes, everything will be okay
We live every day like the last
But everything passes and changes
Will we dance, we will sing
In that eternal spring
Yes, everything will be okay
I believe everything will be okay
Yes I know, everything will be okay
When we all live in unity
Yes, everything will be okay
