Lyrics
Cadevano le bombe come neve,
il diaciannove luglio a San Lorenzo.
Sconquassato il Verano, dopo il bombardamento.
Tornano a galla i morti e sono pi№ di cento.
Cadevano le bombe a San Lorenzo
e un uomo stava a guardare la sua mano,
viste dal Vaticano sembravano scintille,
l’uomo raccoglie la sua mano e i morti sono mille.
E un giorno, credi, questa guerra finir,
ritorner la pace e il burro abbonder
e andremo a pranzo la domenica,
fuori Porta, a Cinecitt, oggi piet l' morta,
ma un bel giorno rinascer e poi qualcuno far qualcosa,
magari si sposer.
E il Papa la domenica mattina da San Pietro,
usc¬ tutto da solo tra la gente, e in mezzo a San Lorenzo,
spalancІ le ali, sembrava proprio un angelo con gli occhiali.
E un giorno, credi, questa guerra finir,
ritorner la pace e il burro abbonder
e andremo a pranzo la domenica,
fuori porta, a Cinecitt, oggi piet l' morta,
ma un bel giorno rinascer e poi qualcuno far qualcosa,
magari si sposer.
Lyrics translation
Bombs fell like snow,
on the DayNine July in San Lorenzo.
Sunk the Verano after the bombing.
The dead return to the surface and there are more than a hundred.
Bombs dropped in San Lorenzo
and a man was looking at his hand,
seen from the Vatican looked like sparks,
man gathers his hand, and the dead are a thousand.
And one day, believe me, this war will end,
return peace and butter abounder
and we're going to lunch on Sunday,
outside the door, in Cinecitt, today piet the dead,
but one fine day reborn and then someone do something,
maybe get married.
And the pope on Sunday morning from St. Peter,
usc all alone among the people, and in the middle of San Lorenzo,
spread your wings, he looked like an angel in glasses.
And one day, believe me, this war will end,
return peace and butter abounder
and we're going to lunch on Sunday,
outside the door, in Cinecitt, today piet the dead,
but one fine day reborn and then someone do something,
maybe get married.
