Old time religion
Negro spiritual
Well, give me that old time religion,
give me that old time religion,
give me that old time religion
it's good enough for me.

It was good for Paul and Silas,
it was good for Paul and Silas,
it was good for Paul and Silas
it's good enough for me.

It was good for the Hebrew children,
it was good for the Hebrew children,
it was good for the Hebrew children
it's good enough for me.

It was good for the prophet Daniel,
it was good for the prophet Daniel,
it was good for the prophet Daniel
it's good enough for me.

It will do when the world's on fire,
it will do when the world's on fire,
it will do when the world's on fire
it's good enough for me.

Dammi la religione del vecchio tempo
è andata bene per i figli di Israele,
per Paolo e Sila e per il profeta Daniele
andrà bene anche per mé.
E' la religione dei vecchi tempi
andrà bene anche quando il mondo finirà
in mezzo alle fiamme.
Dammi la religione del vecchio tempo.

Non chiediamo cose vecchie, non piangiamo sui tempi passati, invochiamo piuttosto radici di bene che creano legami e storie di vita.
Vorremmo anche noi far parte del tempo, quel tempo antico dal volto paterno, quel tempo di ieri che rivive con noi.
