Un galantuomo di età
A gentleman of age
Monocolo, che frac
Monocle, what a tailcoat
Che deve vivere qua
Who has to live here
In collera va
He goes into anger
Straccioni distesi per strada
Beggars lying on the street
I negri, la mafia e la droga
Blacks, the mafia and drugs
Ai tempi miei
In my time
Così non fu mai
It never was like that
L'elenco ce l'ho
I have the list
I disfattisti, i comunisti, i pederasti
The defeatists, the communists, the pederasts
Brava gente di età
Good old people
Oggi la plebaglia
Today the rabble
Sempre più canaglia si fa
He becomes more and more rogue
Ma finalmente verrà
But it will finally come
Uno che al paese
One who to the country
Le fondamenta farà
The foundation will do
La barca sarà ripulita
The boat will be cleaned
Da scioperi e dolce vita
From strikes and dolce vita
Sarò con lui
I'll be with him
Quel giorno, sai
That day, you know
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
L'elenco ce l'ho
I have the list
I disfattisti, i comunisti e i pederasti
The defeatists, the communists and the pederasts
