Un medico (original)Un medico (translation)
Da bambino volevo guarire i ciliegi As a child I wanted to heal cherry trees
Quando rossi di frutti li credevo feriti When red with fruit, I thought they were wounded
La salute per me li aveva lasciati Health for me had left them
Coi fiori di neve che avevan perduti With the snow flowers they had lost
Un sogno, fu un sogno ma non durò poco A dream, it was a dream but it didn't last long
Per questo giurai che avrei fatto il dottore That is why I swore that I would be a doctor
E non per un Dio ma nemmeno per gioco: And not for a God but not even for fun:
Perché i ciliegi tornassero in fiore For the cherry trees to blossom again
Perché i ciliegi tornassero in fiore! For the cherry trees to blossom again!
E quando dottore lo fui finalmente And when I finally was a doctor
Non volli tradire il bambino per l’uomo I did not want to betray the child for the man
E vennero in tanti e si chiamavano gente And many came and called themselves people
Ciliegi malati in ogni stagione Sick cherry trees in every season
E i colleghi d’accordo, i colleghi contenti And colleagues agree, colleagues happy
Nel leggermi in cuore tanta voglia d’amare In reading my heart so much desire to love
Mi spedirono il meglio dei loro clienti They sent me the best of their customers
Con la diagnosi in faccia e per tutti era uguale: With the diagnosis in the face and for everyone it was the same:
Ammalato di fame incapace a pagare! Sick of hunger unable to pay!
E allora capii fui costretto a capire And then I understood I was forced to understand
Che fare il dottore è soltanto un mestiere Being a doctor is just a job
Che la scienza non puoi regalarla alla gente You can't give science to people
Se non vuoi ammalarti dell’identico male If you don't want to get sick of the same disease
Se non vuoi che il sistema ti pigli per fame If you don't want the system to starve you
E il sistema sicuro è pigliarti per fame And the sure way is to starve yourself
Nei tuoi figli in tua moglie che ormai ti disprezza In your children in your wife who now despises you
Perciò chiusi in bottiglia quei fiori di neve So I closed those snow flowers in the bottle
L’etichetta diceva: elisir di giovinezza The label said: elixir of youth
E un giudice, un giudice con la faccia da uomo And a judge, a judge with a man's face
Mi spedì a sfogliare i tramonti in prigione He sent me to browse the sunsets in prison
Inutile al mondo ed alle mie dita Useless to the world and to my fingers
Bollato per sempre truffatore imbroglione Branded forever cheater scammer
Dottor professor truffatore imbroglione Doctor scammer cheater
