Lyrics

Un tempo fu un bandito
bandito senza tempo
uccise un presidente
ne ferìaltri cento
Forse fu a vent’anni
o forse due di meno
era con Gaetano Bresci
sopra una nave lungo il Tirreno.
Giocarono a tresette
tresette con il morto
il terzo era un gendarme
il quarto un re dal fiato corto
un tempo fu a Milano
dove si va a lavorare
c’erano tante bande
quante banche da rapinare.
Forse fu per caso
che con Pietro Cavallero
fece la comparsa
in un film in bianco e nero.
Gli diedero fucili
e pistole di terza mano
un passaporto falso
per fuggire via lontano.
Un tempo per paura
forse per coraggio
si fece catturare
alla catena di montaggio
Quel tempo chi lo ricorda
lo Stato aveva mal di cuore
cosìa Renato Curcio
chiese in prestito nuove parole.
Con quelle partìall'assalto
di nuovi mulini a vento
incontròanche un sorriso
lungo la strada che porta a Trento.
Un tempo questo tempo
con un’arma un po' speciale
una Magnum Les Paul
spara canzoni che fanno male.
Ora ha una nuova banda
e un fazzoletto rosso e nero
quando attacca «I fought the law»
fa saltare il mondo intero.
ma un tempo fu un bandito
bandito senza tempo
veniva con la pioggia
e se ne andava via col vento…

Lyrics translation

He was once a bandit
timeless Bandit
he killed a president.
another hundred
Maybe he was in his twenties.
or maybe two less
it was with Gaetano Bresci
over a ship along the Tyrrhenian Sea.
They played tresette
threesette with the dead
the third was a gendarme
the fourth a short-breathing King
once it was in Milan
where you go to work
there were so many bands
so many banks to rob.
Maybe it was by accident
that with Pietro Cavallero
he made the appearance
in a black and white film.
They gave him guns.
and third-hand guns
a fake passport
to escape far away.
A time for fear
maybe for courage
he got caught
to the assembly line
That time who remembers it
the state had a heartache
so Renato Curcio
he borrowed new words.
With those he went to the assault
of new windmills
he also met a smile
along the road leading to Trento.
Once Upon a time this time
with a slightly special weapon
a Magnum Les Paul
shoot songs that hurt.
Now he has a new band
and a red and black handkerchief
when he attacks " I fought the law»
it blows up the whole world.
but he was once a bandit
timeless Bandit
it came with rain
and he was leaving in the wind…
