Lyrics
Espana, basta souvenir
io me la batto e tu sei l?
che da un grammofono deco
mi dici «Ol?, ti scriver?»
Ma Espana sai da un anno in qua,
ricevo solo depliants
scuole di danza, opere pie,
r? clame di nuove malattie…
Non sono cose mie!
E quanti omonimi vedrai,
ma non mi riconoscerai,
in giro per caffetterie
cercando nuove andalusie…
Andalusie da Polaroid
un po' fugaci come noi…
E poi…
Un giorno X tra le faccende di routine… ti accorgerai come si cambia…
Espana
fu romantico perch?
Espana
tu baravi come me tu per? giocavi in casa
eri troppo nochalante
sarai mica tu… che mi mandi i depliants?
Espana
fu un credibile week end
Espana
m’imbrogliavi col casch?
ora vivo in altitalia e oggi giorno no saprei
se ho patito o no aldil? dei Pirenei.
Espana chi ce la pi?
? sempre il solito menu
Figaro qua Figaro l?
ma c'? qualcosa che non va son stato in prova nel jet-set
ma non ho superato il test
posso proporti un bel Cynar
e un corasson da singol bar.
E un giorno X sulle autostrade di routine
con questi TIR
alle calcagna…
Espana
fu romantico perch?
Espana
ci credevi quanto me pur di prendermi in castagna
travisavi la realt?
mi dispiace un po', ma era troppo tempo fa.
Espana
fu un credibile week end
Espana
mi imbrogliavo col casch?
ora vivo in Altitalia
e oggigiorno non saprei
se ritorner?
al di l? dei Pirenei.
Lyrics translation
Espana, no more souvenirs
I fight and you're there?
than from a deco gramophone
you call me " Ol? write to you?»
But Espana you know for a year now,
I only get leaflets
dance schools, pie works,
r? clams of new diseases…
It's not my thing!
And how many homonyms will you see,
but you won't recognize me,
around cafes
looking for New Andalusia…
Andalusia by Polaroid
a little fleeting like us…
And then…
One Day x between routine chores... you'll notice how you change…
Spain
it was romantic why?
Spain
you cheated like me for? you played at home
you were too nosy
you're not the one sending me the Flyers?
Spain
it was a credible weekend
Spain
you were cheating on me with your helmet?
now I live in altitalia and today I do not know
did I hurt aldil or not? of the Pyrenees.
Expand who has the Pi?
? always the usual menu
Figaro Qua Figaro l?
but c'? something's wrong I've been on test in the jet-set
but I did not pass the test
I can offer you a nice Cynar
it's a single-bar corasson.
And a day X on routine highways
with these TIR
on the heels…
Spain
it was romantic why?
Spain
you believed as much as I did to take me in Chestnut
you were messing with reality?
I'm sorry, but it was too long ago.
Spain
it was a credible weekend
Spain
was I cheating with the helmet?
now I live in Altitalia
and nowadays I don't know
should I come back?
beyond l? of the Pyrenees.
