Lyrics

Se vuoi toccare sulla fronte
Il tempo che passa volando
In un marzo di polvere di fuoco
E come il nonno di oggi
Sia stato il ragazzo di ieri
Se vuoi ascoltare
Non solo per gioco
Il passo di mille pensieri
Chiedi chi erano I Beatles
Chiedi chi erano I Beatles
Se vuoi sentire sul braccio
Il giorno che corre lontano
E come una corda di canapa
E' stata tirata
Come la nebbia inchiodata
Tra giorni sempre piu' brevi
Se vuoi toccare col dito
Il cuore delle ultime nevi
Chiedi chi erano I Beatles
Chiedi chi erano I Beatles
Chiedilo a una ragazza
Di quindici anni di eta'
Chiedi chi erano I Beatles
Lei ti rispondera'
La ragazzina bellina
Col suo sguardo garbato
Gli occhiali con la vocina
Chi erano mai questi Beatles
Lei ti rispondera'
I Beatles non li conosco
Neanche il mondo conosco
Si si conosco Hiroshima
Ma del resto ne so molto poco
Ne so proprio poco
Ha detto mio padre l’Europa
Bruciava nel fuoco
Dobbiamo ancora imparare
Noi siamo nati ieri
Siamo nati ieri
Dopo le ferie di Agosto
Non mi ricordo piu' il mare
Non mi ricordo la musica
Fatico a spiegarmi le cose
E per restare tranquilla
Scatto a mia nonna
Le ultime pose
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Voi che l’avete girati
Nei giradischi e gridati
Voi che li avete
Aspettati e ascoltati
Bruciati e poi scordati
Voi dovete insegnarci
Con tutte le cose
E non solo a parole
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Perche' la pioggia che cade
Presto e' asciugata dal sole
Un fiume scorre
Su un divano di pelle
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Di notte sogno citta'
Che non hanno mai fine
Sento tante voci cantare
E laggiu' gente risponde
Nuoto tra onde di sole
Cammino nel cielo del mare
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles
Ma chi erano mai questi Beatles.

Lyrics translation

If you want to touch on the forehead
The time that flies by
In a march of fire dust
And like today's grandfather
It was yesterday's boy
If you want to listen
Not just for Game
The passage of a thousand thoughts
Ask Who The Beatles were
Ask Who The Beatles were
If you want to feel on the arm
The day that runs away
And like a hemp rope
It's been pulled
Like the fog nailed
In ever shorter days
If you want to tap with your finger
The heart of the last snows
Ask Who The Beatles were
Ask Who The Beatles were
Ask a girl
Fifteen years old
Ask Who The Beatles were
She'll answer you.
The beautiful little girl
With her graceful look
The glasses with the voice
Who were these Beatles ever
She'll answer you.
I don't know The Beatles.
I don't even know the world.
Yes yes I know Hiroshima
But I know very little about it
I know very little about it.
My father said Europe
Burned in the fire
We still have to learn
We were born yesterday
We were born yesterday
After the August holidays
I don't remember the sea anymore.
I don't remember the music
I'm having a hard time explaining things to myself.
And to stay quiet
Shooting at my grandmother
The ultimate pose
But who were these Beatles ever
But who were these Beatles ever
You who shot it
In turntables and screamed
You who have them
Wait and listen
Burned and then forgotten
You must teach us
With all things
And not only in words
But who were these Beatles ever
But who were these Beatles ever
Because the rain that falls
Soon it's sun-dried
A river flows
On a leather sofa
But who were these Beatles ever
At Night Dream City
That never end
I hear so many voices singing
And people over there respond
Swimming among sun waves
Walk in the sky of the sea
But who were these Beatles ever
But who were these Beatles ever.
