Charlie chaplin's smile

My singing teacher, the great Gianluca Valenti, gave me a beautiful song by Charlie Chaplin to study: SMILE. It was the soundtrack of the famous movie Modern Times. As everyone knows when you learn a song, its tune runs through your head like an obsession all day long. It becomes the soundtrack of our brain.

A few days ago, when on behalf of Caritas Ambrosiana I went to share a smile and a moment of relief with homeless people in the Day Center of Viale Famagosta here in Milan, I realized that what the teacher had given me as task fit perfectly with the situation I was experiencing. 

The Universal Language of Charlie Chaplin, who knew how to speak with feeling about people on the margins, helped me find the right key to be closer to them. 

This is the translation of the words of SMILE the song composed by Charlie Chaplin:

Smile, even if your heart hurts

smile, even if it is breaking 

when there are clouds in the sky

you will get over it if you smile 

through your fear and pain 

Smile and maybe tomorrow you will find out 

that life is still worth living

if you only light up your face with contentment and 

hide any trace of sadness

But even if a tear is about to fall 

that's when you have to keep trying

it's the time you have to keep smiling 

you will find that life is still worth living 

if you just smile
