Lyrics

Il Gringo un giorno passo' col cappello
Sugli occhi ed un sigaro spento appeso
Io lo guardavo e poi senza la Colt
Mi sentivo piu' nudo che indifeso
Dura la vita in pianura col Gringo
Che conosce una legge sola: la sua
Il Gringo era riflessi
Speroni e dovere e lampi e grandi palle
E nemici tutti bavosi
E ostinati a restarsene
Dentro la propria pelle
Il nostro cuore non e' da seppellire
Ne' a Wounded Knee
Ne' in nessun altro dove
Il nostro cuore non e' da regolare
Attenti al Gringo di pattugliamento:
Ci si mette lui di corvèe
Il Gringo che va fino in fondo:
Sa che cos’e' meglio per te
Il Gringo raschia tutto il fango
Raschia tutti fin che ce n’e'
Il Gringo quasi quasi spengo
Tanto lo sappiamo gia' com’e'
Il Gringo si accende il fuoco un po'
Per i coyotes ma piu' che altro per le artriti
Ha avuto un giorno pesante
Fra nuovi bersagli e taglie ed ex banditi
Il nostro cuore non e' da seppellire
Ne' a Wounded Knee
Ne' in nessun altro dove
Il nostro cuore non e' da regolare
Attenti al Gringo di pattugliamento:
Ci si mette lui di corvèe
Il Gringo che va fino in fondo:
Sa che cos’e' meglio per te
Il Gringo raschia tutto il fango
Raschia tutto finche' ce n’e'
Il Gringo quasi quasi spengo
Tanto lo sappiamo gia' com’e'
Attenti al Gringo di pattugliamento:
Ci si mette lui di corvèe
Il Gringo che va fino in fondo:
Sa che cos’e' meglio per te
Dura la vita in pianura col Gringo
Che conosce una legge sola: la sua
Dura la vita in riserva col Gringo
Che ripete che la tua legge e' merda
Cuore regolare: non e' da seppellire

Lyrics translation

The Gringo one day passed with the hat
On the eyes and an extinguished cigar hanging
I looked at him and then without the Colt
I felt more naked than helpless
Life lasts in The Plain with Gringo
Who knows only one law: his
The Gringo was reflexes
Spurs and duty and flashes and big balls
And enemies all slobbery
And stubbornly stay
Inside your skin
Our heart is not to be buried
Ne'a Wounded Knee
Or anywhere else where
Our heart is not to be adjusted
Watch out for Gringo patrol:
You put him on the job.
The Gringo that goes all the way:
He knows what's best for you.
Gringo scrapes all the mud
Scrape everyone away while there is.
The Gringo almost almost extinguish
We already know what it's like.
The Gringo lights the fire a little
For coyotes but mostly for arthritis
Had a heavy day
Between new targets and sizes and former bandits
Our heart is not to be buried
Ne'a Wounded Knee
Or anywhere else where
Our heart is not to be adjusted
Watch out for Gringo patrol:
You put him on the job.
The Gringo that goes all the way:
He knows what's best for you.
Gringo scrapes all the mud
Scrape everything away while there is.
The Gringo almost almost extinguish
We already know what it's like.
Watch out for Gringo patrol:
You put him on the job.
The Gringo that goes all the way:
He knows what's best for you.
Life lasts in The Plain with Gringo
Who knows only one law: his
Life lasts in reserve with Gringo
Repeating that your law is shit
Regular heart: not to be buried
