Lyrics

L’ottimista nasce in piedi di sette mesi o poco prima
ha la camicia pronta gi stirata e la mascella volitiva
un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi e poi non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai
lui frequenta gli ambienti pi№ strani basta solo che siano mondani
ha per tutti un solo ed unico discorso viva l’Italia dal garofano rosso
un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi non sbaglia proprio mai, non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai
ha uno sguardo serio e corrucciato quando parla a lungo dello stato
ma poi si illumina d’immenso quando viene l’ora di pranzo
un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai
e Ges№ lo vide camminare sulle onde azzurre del suo mare
gli disse «Amico non so chi tu sia ma gi№ le zampe almeno quest’acqua mia»
ma un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi e poi non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai
un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi e poi lui emerse sulle rive del Tevere disse forte bello grande mio
si potrebbe costruire una metropoli il cui nome somigliasse un po' pi№ al mio
ma un ottimista dall’aria vagamente socialista
e poi non sbaglia proprio mai, non sbaglia mai, non sbaglia mai

Lyrics translation

The optimist is Born Standing seven months or just before
his shirt is already stretched and his jaw is strong-willed
an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then and then he's never wrong, he's never wrong
he frequents the most strange environments just that they are mundane
he has for all one and only speech viva L'italia dal carnofano rosso
an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then he's never wrong, he's never wrong, he's never wrong
he has a serious and Crooked look when he talks at length about the state
but then it illuminates immensely when it comes to lunchtime
an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then he's never wrong, he's never wrong
and Ges№ saw him walking on the blue waves of his sea
he said to him " friend I do not know who you are but GI№ paws at least this water of mine»
but an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then and then he's never wrong, he's never wrong, he's never wrong
an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then and then he emerged on the banks of the Tiber said loud beautiful great my
you could build a metropolis whose name resembled a little more№ to mine
but an optimist with a vaguely socialist air
and then he's never wrong, he's never wrong, he's never wrong
