This morning, luckily, there's a different air
_____
The sun with its rays comes in through the window
_____
How beautiful my land is
_____
I carry a backup postcard
_____
This place mustn't die
_____
My people mustn't leave
_____
My accent has to be heard
We're the land of the sun
_____
Not the land of fires
_____
This morning, luckily, the story's changed
_____
I see people smiling carefree
It feels good out in the street
_____
On this splendid day
This morning the sun woke me up
_____
It's been a long time since it was like this here
_____
Everything starts because then it has to end
But I don't miss anything
_____
This morning I don't miss a thing
She falls asleep on my chest
She doesn't know about problems
_____
She doesn't know these schemes
_____
She doesn't know that life tastes sweet and then poisons you
_____
She's already done with the chores
_____
A princess inside the misery
_____
This street kid put the world in her hands
_____
She taught me when I was little
_____
That a dream can come true
_____
I'd erase all your wrinkles
_____
Forget about going away for work
_____
New companies will bloom in your area
_____
Forget the banks, we'll lend to them
_____
No bosses, we'll steal their throne
_____
There's no line at the counter
If you root for another team
_____
Instead of wielding that knife
_____
Violence has always been the method of those with no brains
_____
Cut that line dividing north and south
_____
I look at the sky for the ones who sadly aren't here anymore
_____
It's a new day for them too
_____
And I'm sure I've stolen a smile from you up there too
_____
This morning the sun woke me up
_____
It's been a long time since it was like this here
_____
Everything starts because then it has to end
_____
But I don't miss anything
_____
This morning I don't miss a thing
She falls asleep on my chest
She doesn't know about problems
_____
She doesn't know these schemes
_____
She doesn't know that life tastes sweet and then poisons you
_____

_____
This place mustn't die
_____
My people mustn't leave
_____
My accent has to be heard
_____
To my uncle who gets up at dawn
_____
To Gennaro who just had a child
_____
To the fishmongers, to the fruit sellers
To all the people of the neighborhood
