What will we tell the children that we will never have
Of those sleepless nights?
Pitch black like gas station hands
In which we felt like the Rolling Stones
Squeezed into a Ducato with guitars in hand
In the Autogrill to review the sets well
And spend one hundred euros in cachet in Camogli
There was a strange air inside the motels
Like an eternal arrival
Dream stains on beds go away with Chanteclair
No lights at the San Siro
And we, children of a god who is agnostic
But he believes in horoscopes
And when you die he doesn't say, 'Where are you going?'
He just asks, 'How was the live?'
I don't wear rock band shirts anymore
I've come a long way, yes, but by hitchhiking
At twenty-seven you can die
Or become a little more pop
And all bands break up
They choose each other and then they melt
But we are stuck on that night
Of a magical August
Rome-Milan in four hours
It takes a lot, a lot of heart
On the door was written 'Dentista Croatia'
It was a fool, but it was cheap
During the week he took the elderly to Zagreb
For perfect teeth and a low cost smile
They laughed behind our backs
And that's how they became large
Waiting for something that never came
Like Seymour with Fry
I don't wear rock band shirts anymore
I've come a long way, yes, but by hitchhiking
At twenty-seven you can die
Or become a little more pop
And all bands break up
They choose each other and then they melt
But we are stuck on that night
Of a magical August
Rome-Milan in four hours
It takes a lot, a lot of heart
And there is a destiny called destination
But you never get there
If you try to run
I don't know what stage we are in evolution
But maybe in this same sentence I find the answer
And now Dentist Croatia, what happened to you?
'Luci a San Siro' now someone else sings it to you
You taught me that you only live in moments
And that anything passes if we grit our teeth
I don't wear rock band shirts anymore
I've come a long way, yes, but by hitchhiking
At twenty-seven you can die
Or become a little more pop
And all bands break up
They choose each other and then they melt
But we are stuck on that night
Of a magical August
Rome-Milan in four hours
It takes a lot, a lot, heart

Dentista Croazia — Dentist Croatia

Dentista Croazia literally translates to "Dentist Croatia" and refers to a specific, somewhat comical, inscription found on the door of a van.

In the song, this phrase represents a low-cost, slightly embarrassing, but ultimately resourceful way for the band to travel. It symbolizes the band's humble beginnings and the sacrifices made for their music, highlighting a unique and memorable detail from their journey.

"Dentista Croazia" is Pinguini Tattici Nucleari looking back at their years playing small gigs before they made it big.

The title comes from an old van, nicknamed after a Croatian dental clinic, that the band used to tour in. It was embarrassing, but it was cheap, and during the week it doubled as a shuttle taking retirees across the border for affordable dental work.

The song moves between that scrappy, hopeful past and the strange trade-offs that come with getting older: bands that break up, friends who reach twenty-seven and don't make it, and the fear that everything meaningful only happens once, in one magical August you can never get back to.

By the end, the song settles into something gentler. It admits that any hardship passes if you grit your teeth, and that the only way through time is to hold onto the people who were there for the ride, van and all.
