Step by step [Un pia un pia]

 

Step by step you go

with little movement

with a modified body

for every situation.

If the sun shines,

if it rains,

you withdraw immediately

in the house that you

always transports with you

Because step by step is how you go.

 

Step by step you go

without racing with time

that runs faster

than you ever will.

But you don't get distressed.

You don't get frustrated.

You follow your way slowly

without worries.

Because step by step is how you go.

 

Step by step you go

without breaking a sweat.

Step by step you go

without complaining.

Appreciation for you,

Sergeant Major.

Because you taught us

how to achieve our goal

every day,

although we must do this;

Step-by-step.
