Mille, duemila, tremila, quattromila
Thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand
Orfeo scende all'inferno
Orpheus descends to hell
La fabbrica o la banca
The factory or the bank
Orfeo cerca l'estate
Orpheus seeks the summer
Sulla tua pelle bianca
On your white skin
La tredicesima ora
The thirteenth hour
L'ora della libertà
The hour of freedom
Non c'è orologio ancora
There's no clock yet
Che la suonerà
That will strike it
Orfeo non ti voltare
Orpheus, don't turn back
Non avere pietà
Have no mercy
Se ti fermi hai già perduto
If you stop, you've already lost
Un amico ti tradirà
A friend will betray you
La tredicesima ora
The thirteenth hour
L'ora della libertà
The hour of freedom
Non c'è orologio ancora
There's still no clock
Che la suonerà
That will strike it
Orfeo scorda il tuo nome
Orpheus forget your name
E guardati allo specchio
And look at yourself in the mirror
Fuori la gente canta
Outside the people sing
E dentro il tuo cuore è vecchio
And inside your heart it's old
La tredicesima ora
The thirteenth hour
L'ora della libertà
The hour of freedom
Non c'è orologio ancora
There’s no clock yet
Che la suonerà
That will play it
