The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Tutti salvi" by Francesco De Gregori.
Lyrics
Vennero a galla finalmente alcuni cordiandoli di allegria
e certe note dell’orchestra che i pesci non vollero portare via.
Erano belle quelle note, che pure il mare le perdonІ
e si arenarono una mattina nella spiaggia di New York.
Scusate ma del Titanic ancora vi devo parlare,
e delle cose rimaste a galla sull’azzurrissimo mare.
Delle risate e delle preghiere, dell’incredibile esplosione,
delle notizie arrivate a terra, poche notizie e nemmeno buone.
Erano belle, erano tonde, e rotolavano sulle onde,
come le note che ho detto prima,
insieme al nome di una bambina.
Senza nessuna mediazione, praticamente senza padrone,
si costruivano in sinfonia, e intanto il mare le portava via.
Si disse infatti che la nave viaggiava ancora in buona salute
e che le vite, le vite umane, no, non erano perdute.
Erano belle, erano tante, e poi nessuno le reclamava,
insieme al nome della bambina e di suo padre che la chiamava.
Lyrics translation
Finally some cordiandoli of joy came to light
and certain notes of the orchestra that the Pisces did not want to take away.
Those notes were beautiful, that even the sea forgives them
and they were stranded one morning on the beach in New York.
Sorry, I still have to talk about the Titanic.,
and things left afloat on the blue sea.
Laughter and prayers, the incredible explosion,
some news on the ground, little news and not even good.
They were beautiful, they were round, and they rolled on the waves,
like the notes I said before,
along with a little girl's name.
Without any mediation, practically without Master,
they were built in a symphony, and in the meantime the sea took them away.
It was said that the ship was still travelling in good health
and that lives, human lives, no, were not lost.
They were beautiful, they were many, and then no one claimed them,
along with the name of the little girl and her father who called her.
