Lyrics

Caro Danton, mon ami Danton,
dimmi come si fa la revolution
tra chi mi tira di qua chi di là come fossi
un volano da badminton.
Sai, oh, a furia di tirare, la giacchetta
è diventata un saio!
Non posso stare dietro a tutti i piani
perché non chiami Rachmaninoff?
Guarda!
Un’altra delegazione
sui tetti come il Telegattone
ma dal re nessuna reazione,
come guardare in tele un cartone,
come se niente fosse,
zone rosse, poi come se niente scosse.
Chi fa sciopero della fame ci rimane,
che ci rimane? Sommosse!
Danton, si mette male.
Qui ti vogliono arrestare
e magari t’accoppano dando la colpa alla tromba
delle scale!
E sono cose come questa che fanno perdere la testa.
Ti fanno perdere la testa per farti perdere.
Non perdere la testa, non devi
perdere la testa, non devi
perdere la testa, non devi
perdere, non devi perdere.
Le situazioni come questa ti fanno perdere la testa.
Ti fanno perdere la testa per farti perdere.
Non perdere la testa, non devi
perdere la testa, non devi
perdere la testa, non devi
perdere, non devi perdere.
Contestazioni negli atenei,
cortei, No-qualcosa-Day
ma il re si gratta gli zebedei
più di Tom Hanks in Cast Away,
L’opposizione ha il K-way,
fa più acqua di un Canadair,
all’opposizione io vorrei Joey Ramone:
'Gabba Gabba Hey!'.
Ma vedo leader narcolettici,
si addormentano parlando nei TG.
Col carisma di Ciccio di Nonna Papera
non convinci gli scettici.
Ti incateni al cancello? Ma noo!
Nessuno ti darà una mano!
Senti me, fuggi che
qui ti danno una mano di antiruggine!
Danton, ci danno addosso,
chi informa verrà rimosso.
Cara liberté mi sa che
qui per te non c'è più posto!
E sono cose come questa…
Muoviamoci Danton, selliamo lo stallon,
armiamoci di casse non di cluster bombs,
festanti come bande di bandoneon
saremo noi, Danton, Robin Hood e Little John,
Lennon e Yoko Ono con il rock & roll,
Sancho e Don Chisciotte, Titania ed Oberon.
All’attacco del re che passa con la claque
ammassa i tuoi garçons, Georges Jacques Danton!
(Grazie a Nico per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

Dear Danton, my friend Danton,
tell me how to make the revolution
among those who pull me here who there as I were
badminton shuttlecock.
You know, oh, to the fury of pulling, the jacket
she's become a saio!
I can't stand behind all the plans
Why don't you call Rachmaninoff?
Look!
Another delegation
on roofs like The Telegraph
but from the king no reaction,
how to look on canvas a cartoon,
as if nothing was,
red areas, then as if nothing shook.
Those who go on hunger strike remain there,
what do we have left? Riots!
Danton, it's bad.
Here they want to arrest you
and maybe they'll hook you up by blaming the trumpet
stairs!
And it's things like this that make you lose your mind.
They make you lose your mind to make you lose.
Do not lose your mind, you do not have to
lose your mind, you don't have to
lose your mind, you don't have to
lose, you don't have to lose.
Situations like this make you lose your mind.
They make you lose your mind to make you lose.
Do not lose your mind, you do not have to
lose your mind, you don't have to
lose your mind, you don't have to
lose, you don't have to lose.
Disputes in universities,
parades, no-Something-Day
but the King scratches the zebedees
more than Tom Hanks in Cast Away,
The opposition has the K-way,
makes more water than a Canadair,
to the opposition I would like Joey Ramone:
'Gabba Gabba Hey!'.
But I see narcoleptic leaders,
they fall asleep talking on TV.
With the charisma of fat Granny duck
don't convince skeptics.
Do you chain yourself to the gate? Ma noo!
No one will help you!
Listen to me, run away that
they give you a hand of antirust!
Danton, they're onto us.,
the informer will be removed.
Dear freedom my che
there's no room here for you!
And they're things like this…
Let's move, Danton, let's seal the stallon.,
let's arm ourselves with crates not cluster bombs,
revelers like bandoneon bands
it'll be us, Danton, Robin Hood and Little John,
Lennon and Yoko Ono with rock & roll,
Sancho and Don Quixote, Titania and Oberon.
To the attack of the king passing by with the claque
pack up your waiters, Georges Jacques Danton!
