Če ti pravijo, da si priden, pazi se,
nekdo te poskuša izkoristiti.
Če ti pravijo, da si pameten, pazi se,
nekdo se te poskuša znebiti.
Če ti pravijo, da si ubogljiv, pazi se,
nekdo te poskuša zasužnjiti.
Če ti pravijo, da si dober, pazi se,
nekdo te poskuša zatreti.
Če pa ti pravijo, da se uči, ne boj se,
lahko ustvariš svet brez šol.
Če ti pravijo, da molči, ne boj se,
lahko ustvariš svet brez utišanih.
Če ti pravijo, da ubogaj, ne boj se,
lahko ustvariš svet brez gospodarjev.
Če ti pravijo, da prosi odpuščanja, ne boj se,
lahko ustvariš svet brez pekla.
Ne verjemi tistemu, ki ti ukazuje, te kaznuje,
podučuje, žali, zasmehuje,
ti laska, te zavaja in prezira.
Ne ve namreč, da si svoboden/-na!

someone is trying to take advantage of you.
If they tell you you're smart, beware,
someone is trying to get rid of you.
If they tell you you are obedient, beware,
someone is trying to enslave you.
If they tell you you're good, beware,
someone is trying to suppress you.
But if they tell you to learn, don't be afraid,
you can create a world without schools.
If they tell you to keep quiet, don't be afraid,
you can create a world without the silenced.
If they tell you to obey, don't be afraid,
you can create a world without masters.
If they tell you to ask for forgiveness, don't be afraid,
you can create a world without hell.
Do not believe them who command you, punish you,
lecture, insult, ridicule,
flatter you, deceive you and despise you.
They do not know that you are free!
— Marcello Bernardi
