Penna a sfera

(original)
Penna rossa, penna gialla, penna bianca, penna nera
per gli amici solamente penna a sfera
il tuo nome diventato una bandiera.
Tutto comincia in un verde mattino
due brioches e un cappuccino
e poi di corsa trafelato gi al giornale
e questa volta certamente per un colpo sensazionale
si tratterebbe di spubblicare questo dice il direttore
un onesto e benvoluto cantautore
tanto per non fare un torto al professore
solo due fotografie magari in primo piano
mentre fa pip oppure fa l’indiano
ma l’importante calcare molto la mano;
poi parlarono di soldi, ragione della sua vita,
centomila pi le spese di trasferta
e tutto il resto a sua discrezione personale
penna rossa, penna nera prese a volo un taxi
e le due civette con i flash alle calcagna
e arrivarono alla reggia del cantautore
non c’erano carri armati n polizia privata
fu facile penetrare nel giardino
ma nella notte il destino stava tendendo un tranello
penna a sfera decise di agire
si tramut in un albero di mele
Pollicino e il Gatto con gli stivali
del cantautore, del cantautore nemmeno l’ombra
telefon in tutti gli alberghi
e perfino nel piano bar
pensando che stesse bevendo ancora una coppa di champagne.
Il cantautore era al Milite Ignoto
penna rossa, penna gialla, penna bianca, penna nera
per gli amici solamente penna a sfera
il tuo nome diventato una bandiera.
Sono il re dei festivals, delle feste padronali
delle crociere promozionali, dei giornali musicali
qui c' sotto, qui c' sotto un tradimento, tradimento
decise di rilassarsi i nervi
alla prima di un film qualsiasi
dove tutti lo aspettavano perci non c’era rimasto nessuno
ferocemente grid nel buio: «Stampa!»
il film era molto brutto
ma degno di tre pallini
ma segno indiscutibile di una stampa libera ed obbiettiva
lui si sent un fallito
and in via del Campo Marzio a comprare una pistola
e poi ancora gi di corsa al suo giornale
e certamente questa volta per un colpo sensazionale
Direttore direttore smettiamola di fare la farsa
non sono nato per fare il servo o lo spione
e fino a prova contraria sono un grande scrittore
e la pistola fece clic come tutta la sua vita
quattro anni sono lunghi da passare in galera
anche con la solidariet della stampa intera
penna rossa, penna gialla, penna bianca, penna nera
per gli amici solamente penna a sfera
il tuo nome, il tuo nome diventato una bandiera.
(translation)
Red pen, yellow pen, white pen, black pen
for friends only ballpoint pen
your name became a flag.
It all starts on a green morning
two brioches and a cappuccino
and then running out of breath down to the newspaper
and this time certainly for a sensational shot
it would be a matter of unpublishing this, says the director
an honest and well-liked songwriter
just so as not to do the professor a disservice
only two photographs perhaps in the foreground
while he peeps or does the Indian
but the very important limiting the hand;
then they talked about money, the reason for his life,
one hundred thousand plus travel expenses
and everything else at your personal discretion
red pen, black pen flew into a taxi
and the two owls with flashes on their heels
and they arrived at the singer-songwriter's palace
there were no tanks or private police
it was easy to break into the garden
but in the night fate was laying a trap
ballpoint pen decided to act
turned into an apple tree
Tom Thumb and Puss in Boots
not even the shadow of the songwriter, the songwriter
telephoned all the hotels
and even in the piano bar
thinking he was still drinking a glass of champagne.
The songwriter was at the Unknown Soldier
red pen, yellow pen, white pen, black pen
for friends only ballpoint pen
your name became a flag.
I'm the king of festivals, of employers' parties
promotional cruises, music journals
here is under, here is a betrayal, betrayal
he decided to relax his nerves
at the premiere of any film
where everyone was waiting for him, therefore there was no one left
fiercely he shouted in the dark: "Print!"
the movie was very bad
but worthy of three shots
but an indisputable sign of a free and objective press
he felt like a failure
went to via del Campo Marzio to buy a gun
and then again running to his newspaper
and certainly this time for a sensational shot
Director director let's stop making the farce
I was not born to be a servant or a spy
and until proven otherwise I'm a great writer
and the gun clicked like all his life
four years is a long time to spend in jail
also with the solidarity of the entire press
red pen, yellow pen, white pen, black pen
for friends only ballpoint pen
your name, your name become a flag.
