Lyrics

Correvano veloci lungo le gallerie
i treni di una volta trasportavano le spie
nelle carrozze letto sposi in luna di miele
facevano l’amore con l’ausilio del motore.
Mio nonno preferiva per la villeggiatura
portare i suoi parenti coi bagagli in carrozzella
l’aria della campagna carica di letame
spostava vibrazioni di una vita troppo bella.
Correvano veloci su quelle giardiniere
18 gente si sbracciava salutando alle frontiere
la vita, ci prendeva con strana frenesia
guardare il fumo uscire dalle macchine a vapore.
Giocavano sull’aia bambini e genitori
Calasso li avvertiva dal Corriere della Sera:
Copritevi che fa freddo, mettetevi le galosce

Lyrics translation

They ran fast along the tunnels
trains once carried spies
in the bed carriages honeymooners
they made love with the engine.
My grandfather preferred for the holiday
bring your relatives with luggage in a wheelchair
the air of the countryside filled with manure
it moved vibrations of a life too beautiful.
They ran fast on those gardeners
18 people were waving at the borders
life, it took us with strange frenzy
watch the smoke come out of the Steam Machines.
Children and parents played in The Hague
Calasso warned them by Corriere della Sera:
Cover it's cold, put on your galoshes
