Lyrics

Al terzo mese di gravidanza isterica
gi sul viso i morbidi tratti di maternit
diceva Maddalena sarebbe un nome particolare insieme a Sofia
nel caso fosse maschio Vincenzo Maria.
Al sesto mese di gravidanza isterica
tutti ritennero fosse opportuno non scomodare la verit
Insidiati dai rimorsi per averle dato il tormento
finch© desse alla luce una creatura entro l'et feconda
Mentre aspettava il lieto evento
che mai avrebbe avuto luogo
comprava abiti premaman e una culla di legno
come quelle di una volta
le si leggeva in faccia smisurata felicit
per la dolce attesa
Al nono mese di gravidanza isterica
tutti mantennero la messa in scena invariata per vilt
sarebbe stata questione di giorni ed avrebbe chiarito da se
l'increscioso equivoco di cui era la sola ed unica artefice
Mentre aspettava il lieto evento
che mai avrebbe avuto luogo
sentiva quell'essere muoversi con grazia superba
come un trapezista in scena le si leggeva in faccia smisurata felicit
Mentre aspettava il lieto evento
aveva gi pensato a tutto
prete, battesimo e clinica dalla culla di legno
come quelle di una volta ai pi№ svariati tipi di carion.
Mistica e lenta la dolce attesa
la dolce attesa
(Grazie a pasqualo per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

At the third month of hysterical pregnancy
gi on the face the soft strokes of motherhood
he said Maddalena would be a special name along with Sofia
in case it was a male Vincenzo Maria.
At the sixth month of hysterical pregnancy
everyone felt it was appropriate not to disturb the truth.
Plagued by remorse for giving her torment
finch © give birth to a creature within the fertile et
While waiting for the happy event
that would never have taken place
he was buying maternity clothes and a wooden crib.
like old times
you read her face immeasurably felicit
for the sweet wait
At the ninth month of hysterical pregnancy
everyone kept the staging unchanged for vilt
it would have been a matter of days and would have clarified by itself
the unfortunate misunderstanding of which she was the only and only creator
While waiting for the happy event
that would never have taken place
he felt that being move with superb Grace
like a trapeze artist on stage she read her face immeasurably happy
While waiting for the happy event
he had already thought of everything
priest, baptism and clinic from the wooden cradle
as those of once at the most№ various types of carion.
Mystical and slow the sweet wait
the sweet wait
