Lyrics

Cento di queste rondini
alte nel cielo blu…
questa e' una terra arida
grande e' la tua tribu'
prendi mogli e buoi
tutti i figli tuoi…
cento di queste rondini
la pace sia con voi…
Mamma che mani ruvide
tu quanti denti hai
contali nella polvere
o non contarli mai…
corri piu' che puoi
corri piu' che puoi
mamma che mani ruvide…
la pace sia con voi…
Mi mancava l’aria…
mi mancavi tu…
io su quella macchina
non ci salgo piu'…
Ewambaweee…
let the children shine
ewambaweee…
dancing in the sky
Bunny l’insospettabile
disse a Lapinsky il gas
«metti un impermeabile…
vai per i piano bar…
cerca nuovi eroi…
facce da cow-boy…
urlino nei megafoni:
la pace sia con voi…»
Cento di queste rondini
qui non si va piu' via…
scendono gli elicotteri
della malinconia…
prendi mogli e buoi
tutti i figli tuoi…
cento di queste rondini
la pace sia con voi…
Mi mancava l’aria
mi mancavi tu…
io su quella macchina
non ci salgo piu'…
Ewambaweee…
let the children shine
ewambaweee…
dancing in the sky

Lyrics translation

One hundred of these swallows
high in the blue sky…
this is a dry land
great is your tribe
take wives and oxen
all your children…
one hundred of these swallows
peace be with you…
Mom that rough hands
how many teeth do you have
count them in the dust
or never count them…
run as fast as you can
run as fast as you can
mom that rough hands…
peace be with you…
I missed the air…
I missed you.…
me on that car.
I'm not going up there anymore.…
Ewambaweee…
let the children shine
ewambaweee…
dancing in the sky
Bunny the unsuspected
he told Lapinsky the gas
"put on a raincoat…
go to the piano bars…
search for new heroes…
cowboy faces…
howl in megaphones:
peace be with you…»
One hundred of these swallows
we don't leave here anymore.…
the helicopters are coming down
of melancholy…
take wives and oxen
all your children…
one hundred of these swallows
peace be with you…
I missed the air
I missed you.…
me on that car.
I'm not going up there anymore.…
Ewambaweee…
let the children shine
ewambaweee…
dancing in the sky
