Lyrics

Fra I ragazzi di una strada,
Come chicchi di caff?,
Da una telecamera,
Ora, gli occhi tuoi,
Sorridendo lacrime,
Parlano coi miei.
La tua bocca bianca e rosa
Oggi cosa manger?
Forse pane e polvere
Unti di piet?,
Non le nostre chiacchiere,
Le nostre ambiguit?.
Ma se nasci l?, dimmi come puoi difenderti
Dall’ipocrisia, dalla siccit? Degli uomini
E se nasci l?, dimmi come puoi nasconderti
Dalla crudelt? Dell’economia, delle guerre inutili,
Perch?, prima o poi, l’odio sparer?
Piombo nei cucchiai della povert?.
Figlio della polvere, c'? Una verit?
Che ci inganna:
La menzogna.
Una classe di grembiuli,
Vedo alla lavagna te,
Che impari l’aritmetica,
La magia del tre,
L’arte di dividere
Quello che non c'?.
Pochi soldi che questa vita mia non spostano
Io li mando a te e speriamo che ti arrivino.
La fotografia, la tua storia la conosco gi?
E un fratello in pi? Da domani avrai e meno solo anch’io sar?,
So che te ne andrai dove il mondo va,
So che ci sarai quando non sar?,
Ma, se la banca ha un’anima, questo servir?,
Forse almeno un po'.
Firmo questo modulo,
Mentre penso a te,
Figlio della polvere,
Affidato a me.

Lyrics translation

Among the boys of a street,
Like caff beans?,
From a camera,
Now, your eyes,
Smiling tears,
They talk to my parents.
Your mouth white and pink
What manger today?
Maybe bread and dust
Anointed with piet?,
Not our chatter,
Our ambiguities?.
But if you're born l? tell me how you can defend yourself
From hypocrisy, from drought? Of men
What if you're born l? tell me how you can hide.
From crudelt? Of the economy, of unnecessary wars,
Perch? sooner or later, I hate shooting?
Lead in poverty spoons?.
Son of dust, c'? A verit?
That deceives us:
Lie.
A class of aprons,
I see you on the board,
Learning arithmetic,
The magic of three,
The art of dividing
What there is not?.
Little money that this life of mine does not move
I'll send them to you, and we hope they get to you.
Do I know your story?
And a brother in pi? From tomorrow you will have and least of all I will also sar?,
I know you'll go where the world goes,
I know you'll be there when I'm not?,
But, if the bank has a soul, this serve?,
Maybe at least a little.
I sign this form,
While I think of you,
Son of dust,
Entrusted to me.
