Lyrics

L’avevi creduto davvero che avremmo parlato Esperanto?
L’avevi creduto davvero o l’avevi sperato soltanto?
Ma che tempo, e che elettricit.
Ma che tempo che, e che tempo che sar.
Ma che tempo far, non lo vedi che tuona?
Non lo senti che tuona gi? Non lo senti che tuona?
€ lontana perІ, sembra gi pi№ vicina,
questa musica che abbiamo sentito gi.
Babbo c' un assassino, non lo fare bussare.
Babbo c' un indovino, non lo fare parlare.
Babbo c' un imbianchino, vestito di nuovo,
c' la pelle di un vecchio serpente appena uscito da un uovo.
E c' un forte rumore di niente, un forte rumore di niente.
L’avevi creduto davvero che avremmo parlato d’amore?
L’avevi creduto davvero o l’avevi soltanto sperato col cuore?
Gli occhi oggi gridano agli occhi, e le bocche stanno a guardare
e le orecchie non vedono niente tra Babele e il Villaggio Globale.
Babbo c' un assassino, non lo fare bussare,
babbo c' un indovino, non lo fare parlare.
Babbo c' un imbianchino, vestito di nuovo,
c' la pelle di un vecchio serpente appena uscito da un uovo.
E c' un forte rumore di niente, un forte rumore di niente.

Lyrics translation

Did you really think we were gonna talk Esperanto?
Did you really believe it or did you just hope for it?
But what weather, and what electricity.
But what time that, and what time that will be.
What's the weather, don't you see it thundering?
Don't you hear him Thunder? Don't you hear him Thunder?
€ distant perI, it seems already Pi№ nearby,
this music we heard already.
Father's a murderer, Don't make him knock.
Santa's a fortune teller, don't make him talk.
Santa there is a painter, dressed again,
there's the skin of an old snake just out of an egg.
And there's a loud noise of nothing, a loud noise of nothing.
Did you really think we were gonna talk about love?
Did you really believe it or did you just hope for it with your heart?
The eyes today cry to the eyes, and the mouths stand to look
and the ears see nothing between Babel and the Global Village.
Father there is a murderer, do not make him knock,
Santa's a fortune teller, don't make him talk.
Santa there is a painter, dressed again,
there's the skin of an old snake just out of an egg.
And there's a loud noise of nothing, a loud noise of nothing.
