Lyrics

Steso a terra in un prato d’erba bruciata
armato e mimetizzato tu ascolti il vento
nella guerra straniera di qualcun’altro
tu tieni lontani i buoni dai cattivi.
Senti me sono il tuo bambino
son troppo piccolo e ti telefono col pensiero
dopo dormirІ e ti sognerІ.
Sono nato che tu eri partito da poco
e forse ti ho visto in qualche telegiornale.
Non so ancora parlare e rotolo ancora
torna, cos¬ mi insegni tu a camminare,
poi mi devi spiegare come si tiene stretto un gelato
mentre si sta sciogliendo,
so quanti anni hai, venti pi№ di me.
Che cosa il mare, devi spiegarmelo tu,
devi tornare, fai come i gatti stai gi№.
Fra gli aeroplani, il pi№ veloce qual',
le ragazze come funzionano
mamma sorride e dice: lui lo sa.
Ma come fanno i bambini a ridere ancora
dove la guerra rompe le case e il sole,
forse un giorno potresti spiegarmelo bene,
non come la tv ma, con le tue parole.
E perch© tutti parlan di pace, e pi№ ne parlano
pi№ la pace non arriva mai;
questo e anche di pi№, devi dirmi tu.
E quando sera, pensa ai sapori di qua,
con l’avventura da esagerare nei bar.
Gi№ nel giardino c' la tua moto da cross,
tante foto che non ci bastano,
fa il tuo lavoro bene, ma stai gi№.
E perch© tutti parlan di pace, e pi№ ne parlano
pi№ la pace non arriva mai;
questo e anche di pi№, devi dirmi tu.

Lyrics translation

Lying on the ground in a lawn of burnt grass
armed and camouflaged you listen to the wind
in someone else's foreign war
you keep the good from the bad.
Look, I'm your baby.
I'm too small and I'm calling you with my mind
then you sleep and dream.
I was born that you had just left
and maybe I saw you on some news.
I don't know how to talk yet and roll yet
come back, you teach me to walk,
then you have to explain to me how to hold an ice cream
while it is melting,
I know how old you are, twenty more№ than me.
What the sea, you have to explain it to me you,
you have to go back, do as cats stand already№.
Among the airplanes, the fastest№ Qu',
girls how they work
mom smiles and says: he knows.
But how do children still laugh
where war breaks houses and the sun,
maybe one day you could explain it to me well,
not like tv but, in your words.
And because© everyone talks about peace, and more№ talk about it
Pi№ peace never comes;
this and also of Pi№, you have to tell me.
And when evening, think about the flavors here,
with the adventure to exaggerate in bars.
Gi№ in the garden there your motorcycle,
so many photos that are not enough,
it does your job well, but you're already№.
And because© everyone talks about peace, and more№ talk about it
Pi№ peace never comes;
this and also of Pi№, you have to tell me.
