Mio padre aveva un sogno comune
My father had a common dream
Condiviso dalla sua generazione
Shared by his generation
La mascella al cortile parlava
The jaw at the courtyard spoke
Troppi morti lo hanno tradito
Too many dead betrayed him
Tutta gente che aveva capito
All people who understood
E il bambino nel cortile sta giocando
And the child in the yard is playing
Tira sassi nel cielo e nel mare
Throw stones into the sky and into the sea
Ogni volta che colpisce una stella
Every time it hits a star
Chiude gli occhi e si mette a sognare
He closes his eyes and starts dreaming
Chiude gli occhi e si mette a volare
She closes her eyes and sets off
E i cavalli a salò sono morti di noia
And the horses went up died of boreness
A giocare col nero perdi sempre
To play with black you always lose
Mussolini ha scritto anche poesie
Mussolini also wrote poetry
I poeti che strane creature
The Poets Who Strange Creatures
Ogni volta che parlano è una truffa
Every time they talk it's a scam
Ma mio padre è un ragazzo tranquillo
But my dad's a quiet guy
La mattina legge molti giornali
In the morning he reads many newspapers
È convinto di avere delle idee
He's convinced he has ideas
E suo figlio è una nave pirata
And your son is a pirate ship
E suo figlio è una nave pirata
And your son is a pirate ship
E anche adesso è rimasta una scritta nera
And even now there's a black writing left
Sopra il muro davanti casa mia
Above the wall in front of my house
Dice che il movimento vincerà
He says the movement will win
Il gran capo ha la faccia serena
The great boss has a serene face
La cravatta intonata alla camicia
The tie intoned to the shirt
Ma il bambino nel cortile si è fermato
But the child in the yard stopped
Si è stancato di seguire gli aquiloni
He got tired of following kites
Si è seduto tra i ricordi vicini i rumori lontani
He sat among the near memories the distant noises
Guarda il muro e si guarda le mani
Look at the wall and look at your hands
Guarda il muro e si guarda le mani
Look at the wall and look at your hands
Guarda il muro e si guarda le mani
Look at the wall and look at your hands
