Lyrics

«Quand'io l’ho conosciuta l’Italia era già donna e di costituzione robusta,
sana e forte e più che lavorare direi che tribulava, poi dato che era grassa,
madonna se sudava…»
«Due bestie nella stalla e un coro di galline, a cui tirare il collo per farci
stare bene, per farci festa l’Italia s’inventava storie favolose chi lo sa come
faceva…»
«Se la portavi in giro, l'Italia maglia rosa, montava dietro in macchina perchè
era rispettosa… mezzo sedile a lei, e mezzo a noi fratelli, non proprio di
Mameli, però abbastanza belli…»
«Se andava a cena fuori e lei mangiava tutto che poi ci si poteva specchiare
dentro il piatto, e con la pancia piena di scatto lei s’alzava, faceva un
bell’inchino, l'Italia e poi ballava. noi zitti e affascinati dal ritmo dei suoi
passi ballava proprio bene come spesso fanno i grassi, l'Italia nel volteggio
sbuffava e s’impegnava sembrava che cascasse ma si risollevava»
«Quando l’ho conosciuta eravamo compaesani, puzzava di miseria e aveva modi
strani con quel vocione forte e un tuono di risata, contenta perchè viva e in
più sopravvisuta a guerra dopoguerra e guerra dopo ancora di indole puttana e
in abito da suora, maestra di furbizia e un pò voltagabbana però rispetto ad
altri, più tenera ed umana. Aveva gli occhi ardenti e un bel gesticolare,
il seno prominente, un'aria familiare, un corpo molto goffo un pò fuori misura
tenuto insieme a stento con i punti di sutura, eppure è ancora bella magnifica e
attraente, una bellezza impudica e a volte sconveniente, propensa e ben disposta
ai vizi del piacere, l'Italia sapeva anche godere…»
«Con il passare degli anni ci siam persi di vista, le scrissi molte volte ma
senza mai risposta. mi dissero che si era messa in certi giri strani e che si
accompagnava con ladri e mascalzoni… poi ieri l’ho incontrata dentro un
supermercato, l'Italia col carrello al reparto surgelati, talmente dimagrita che
mi pareva un’altra, gli zigomi rifatti e la frangetta corta»
«Avrei voluto dirle che avevo nostalgia dei tempi in cui godevo della sua
compagnia, insomma la trovavo bella, davvero seducente e che anche se lontano ero
pur sempre un suo parente»
«Lei mi ha guardato come si guardano i bambini, mi ha chiesto se sapevo
dov’erano i grissini, vedendomi perplesso di scatto s'è voltata e in men che non
si dica l’Italia se n'è andata…»
«Italia antico amore hai perso l’allegria e forse non ricordi l’antica cortesia,
ebbene si lo ammetto ci son rimasto male, che diamine, potevi almeno salutare!
Però malgrado tutto, ti voglio ancora bene qualcosa di me stesso ancora ti
appartiene, ti piace far la stronza e farmi disperare, ma so che un giorno o
l’altro ti rivedrò ballare»
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la…

Lyrics translation

"When I met her, Italy was already a woman and a strong constitution,
healthy and strong and more than work I would say she was struggling, then since she was fat,
madonna was sweating…»
"Two beasts in the barn and a choir of chickens, to which to pull our necks to make us
be well, to make us Party Italy invented fabulous stories who knows how
do…»
"If you took her around, the Italy maglia rosa, she would ride in the back of the car because
she was respectful ... half a seat to her, and half to us brothers, not quite of
Mameli, but pretty beautiful…»
"If she went out to dinner and she ate all that then you could mirror
inside the plate, and with her belly full of snap she stood up, made a
nice bow, Italy and then danced. we shut up and fascinated by the rhythm of his
passi danced just as well as fat often do, Italy in the vaulting
he snorted and engaged it looked like he was falling but he was rising»
"When I met her we were fellow countrymen, she smelled of misery and had manners
strange with that loud voice and a thunder of laughter, happy to live and in
most survived postwar war and war after still of whore disposition and
in dress as a nun, master of cunning and a little turntagabbana however compared to
others, more tender and human. He had burning eyes and a beautiful gesticulation,
the prominent breast, a familiar air, a very clumsy body a little out of size
held together barely with stitches, yet it is still beautiful magnificent and
attractive, an impudent and sometimes inconvenient beauty, prone and well-disposed
to the vices of pleasure, Italy also knew how to enjoy…»
"As the years went by we lost sight of each other, I wrote to her many times but
never answered. they told me that she had gone on some strange turns and that she
she accompanied with thieves and scoundrels ... then yesterday I met her inside a
supermarket, Italy with the cart to the frozen department, so thin that
it looked like another one, the cheekbones redone and the short bangs»
"I wanted to tell you that I was longing for the times when I enjoyed her
company, in short, I found it beautiful, really seductive and that although I was far away
still a relative of his»
"She looked at me the way you look at children, she asked me if I knew
where were the breadsticks, seeing me perplexed by the shot she turned and in less than
let's say Italy is gone…»
"Italy Ancient Love You lost the joy and maybe you do not remember the ancient courtesy,
well, I admit I was sick, what the hell, you could at least say goodbye!
But in spite of everything, I still love you something about myself still you
it belongs, you like to be a bitch and make me despair, but I know that one day or
the other one will see you dance again»
