I know it's quite impossible to translate some kind of songs but i would like to try to explain u this song by a singer who died in Italy 30 years ago died in a car acciden, Rino Gaetano...a poet more than a singer...who wrote this song in '70s "Ma il cielo è sempre più blue" [=But the sky is always bluer] which make a kind of list of situations, vicious, beahviours and crimes...endin' the song sayin something like "doesnt matter whatever u do, no matter whatever they do....'cause at the end the sky is still blue, more...it's BLUER!"... it was ofcourse a critic of italian society of that time [but so modern....]

Lyric:
But the sky is always bluer
Who lives in a shack, who sweats his salary
who loves the love and glory's dreams.
Who robs pensions, who has short memory
who eats once, who throws to the target.
Who wants the [pay]rise, who plays to Sanremo
who has glasses, who goes under a train.
Who loves his aunt, who goes to Porta Pia
who finds discounted, who as he has found
na na na na na na na na
But the sky is always bluer uh uh uh uh
but the sky's always bluer uh uh uh uh...
Who dreams millions, who gambles
who plays with threads, who acts like an indian
Who is a farm-worker, who sweeps the courts
who steals, who fights, who tells on
na na na na na na na na
But the sky is always bluer uh uh uh uh
but the sky's always bluer uh uh uh uh
Who has hired by the Zecca, who fails
who has some inner crisis, who digs deep in the hearts.
Who is a palm-reader, who reigns sovereign
who perspires, who fights, who eats once.
Who hasn't got a house, who lives alone
who hasn't a good salary, who plays with the fire.
Who lives in Calabria, who lives on love
who made war, who takes sixty cent. (at university),
who arrives to eighty cent., who dies at the work.
na na na na na na na na
But the sky is always bluer uh uh uh uh
but the sky's always bluer uh uh uh uh
but the sky's always bluer.
Who has been assured, who has been penalized
who goes to pharmacy, who has died cuz of envy or of jealously.
Who's wrong, who's right, who is Napoleon.
Who shouts "stop thief!", who has got an anti-theft device
who has painted a painting, who's a wall-writing.
Who reacts instinctively, who's a looser, who's a winner
who eats once, who wants the [pay]rise.
Who changes his boat happy and glad
who as he has found, who all things considered.
who dreams millions, who gambles
who leaves to Beirut having a billion in the pocket.
who has been penalized, who hates bloody Southerners
who sings Prévert, who copies Baglioni.
who's a farm-worker, who tells on
who has died cuz of envy or of jealously.
Who's a palm-reader, who sells amulets
who writes poems, who eats some potatoes
Who only sometimes drinks, who every nights
na na na na na na na
But the sky is always bluer,
but the sky's always bluer.
