Lyrics

L’alligatore Gianni,
ha un buco nei calzoni,
lui dice ridendo «? per via della coda»…
memoria di turpi amori…
e dondolando se ne va,
a spasso tra i lampioni,
lungo il viale delle grandi mutazioni…
lungo il viale delle grandi mutazioni…
L’alligatore Gianni,
ha un tigre nel cervello
lo sguardo? un groviglio di oggetti smarriti…
a volte si crede bello…
ha le sinistre qualit?
di un calcolo sbagliato…
benedetto come un dente avvelenato…
E i carabinieri in rosa,
gli danno la caccia…
le donne si aggiustano in fretta le calze,
solo a guardarlo in faccia…
se il grido di una sirena,
gli offre l’occasione…
si nasconde dietro un pollice…
e ti spara la sua canzone…
yattattatta-tara…
L’alligatore Gianni
? un tiro dei peggiori…
s’imbarca nel business dei suoi cromosomi…
e non sa come uscirne fuori…
e cigolando se ne va
in cerca di emozioni…
lungo il viale delle grandi mutazioni…
E i carabinieri in rosa
si lasciano andare…
il tempo si spacca in milioni di stelle
non identificate…
lontano tra i muri azzurri
della citt? perduta
a ubriacarsi d’impossibile
nella notte sconosciuta…

Lyrics translation

The Gianni alligator,
he's got a hole in his pants.,
he says laughing"? because of the tail»…
memory of turpi amori…
and rocking away,
strolling through the streetlights,
along the avenue of the great mutations…
along the avenue of the great mutations…
The Gianni alligator,
he's got a tiger in his brain.
the look? a tangle of lost and found…
sometimes you think it's nice…
does it have the sinister qualities?
of a wrong calculation…
blessed as a poisoned tooth…
And the carabinieri in pink,
they hunt him down.…
women quickly adjust their stockings,
just looking him in the face…
if the cry of a mermaid,
gives him the opportunity…
he hides behind a thumb…
and he shoots you his song…
yattattatta-tara…
The Gianni alligator
? a shot of the worst…
he embarks on the business of his chromosomes…
and he doesn't know how to get out of it.…
and squeaking away
looking for emotions…
along the avenue of the great mutations…
And the carabinieri in pink
they let go…
time splits into millions of stars
not identified…
far between the blue walls
from the city? lost
to get drunk from the impossible
in the unknown night…
