L'onorevole (original)L'onorevole (translation)
Preso un lavoro e perso una donna Got a job and lost a woman
Andò sul canale a cercare la luna He went to the canal to look for the moon
Ma trovò nell’acqua salmastra L’altra sua faccia, solo più scura But he found her other face in the brackish water, only darker
E fece finta di non avere mai avuto paura And she pretended she had never been afraid
Fece finta di non avere mai amato nessuna She pretended she never loved anyone
Andò al bar del cielo vuoto He went to the empty sky bar
Da bere costa poco It is cheap to drink
Lo paghi doppiamente solo il giorno dopo You pay it double only the next day
Ordinò tre bicchieri pieni di ghiaccio e uno di perdono She ordered three glasses full of ice and one of forgiveness
E prese a costeggiare la via del superuomo And she began to skirt the way of the superman
La mattina i colleghi dell’ufficio «Stomaco e conchiglie» In the morning, colleagues from the "Stomach and shells" office
Lo trovavano pieno di rispetto They found him respectful
Sogno delle mogli, perfetto per le figlie Dream of wives, perfect for daughters
Prefetto, prefetto Prefect, prefect
La notizia del decesso arrivò nel pomeriggio The news of the death arrived in the afternoon
Nel vuoto giallo di un nuovo chiacchiericcio In the yellow void of a new chatter
Gli impiegati del partito andavano alla schiera Party employees joined the ranks
Con le gobbe ripiegate nella giusta maniera With the humps folded in the right way
La sua bara fu un leggio di frassino e betulla Her coffin for him was an ash and birch lectern
E un discorso che diceva tutto e non diceva nulla It was a speech that said everything and said nothing
E davanti alle domande di una giornalista bella e bruna And in front of the questions of a beautiful and dark journalist
Fece finta di non avere mai avuto paura He pretended he had never been afraid
Fece finta di non avere mai amato nessuna He pretended he had never loved anyone
Il giorno seguente si presentò al lavoro The next day she showed up for work
Con gli occhi vuoti e il raffreddore With empty eyes and a cold
Ed era deceduto solo da poco And he had only recently passed away
Appena da dieci o dodici ore Just for ten or twelve hours
Ma i segni della morte erano evidenti But the signs of death were evident
E aveva biglietti della lotteria al posto dei denti And he had lottery tickets for teeth
Fichi d’india al posto delle orecchie Prickly pears instead of ears
Bacchette al posto delle mani Chopsticks for hands
E al posto dei cani un branco inamidato di esseri umani And instead of dogs, a starched pack of humans
E quando gli dissero che l’economia era malata And when they told him the economy was sick
E che la fame era la migliore cura And that hunger was the best cure
Fece finta di non avere mai avuto paura He pretended he had never been afraid
Fece finta di non avere mai amato nessuna He pretended he had never loved anyone
Una settimana appena dopo il suo funerale A week just after his funeral
Aveva la testa rigirata sulla schiena He had his head turned on his back
Ma trovò il modo di rimediare But he found a way to fix it
Chiamò il generale Panciapiena He called General Panciapiena
E ordinò i più feroci bombardamenti su tutti i suoi sogni passati And he ordered the most ferocious bombings on all his past dreams of him
In difesa del popolo e dei giorni seguenti In defense of the people and the following days
A un anno dalla morte si vedevano solo le ossa A year after his death, only the bones were visible
Era sparito tutto, persino la puzza Everything was gone, even the stench
E guardava dall’alto della sua fossa la gente che manifestava nella piazza And he watched the people demonstrating in the square from the top of his pit
E scorse fra la folla la sua amata And he saw his beloved one in the crowd
Con le lacrime in tempesta sopra il viso With tears storming over your face
E quando vide che veniva calpestata And when he saw that she was being trampled
Non si scompose, ma abbozzò un sorriso She did not flinch, but managed a smile
E fece finta di non avere mai avuto paura And he pretended he had never been afraid
Fece finta di non avere mai amato He pretended he never loved
Di non avere mai amato nessuna I have never loved anyone
Amore mio come farò My love how will I do
Quest’inverno che t’ha gelato il sangue ti lusinga This winter that has frozen your blood flatters you
Amore mio ti seppellirò My love I will bury you
Questa notte che m’ha coperto il volto ti contentaThis night that covered my face makes you happy
