Addio (original)Addio (translation)
Nell’anno Novantanove di nostra vita In the ninety-nine year of our life
Io, Francesco Guccini, eterno studente I, Francesco Guccini, an eternal student
Perché la materia di studio sarebbe infinita Because the subject of study would be infinite
E soprattutto perché so di non sapere niente And mostly because I know I don't know anything
Io, chierico vagante, bandito di strada Me, a wandering cleric, a highwayman
Io, non artista, solo piccolo baccelliere Me, not an artist, just a small bachelor
Perché, per colpa d’altri, vada come vada Because, through the fault of others, it goes as it goes
A volte mi vergogno di fare il mio mestiere Sometimes I'm ashamed to do my job
Io dico addio a tutte le vostre cazzate infinite I say goodbye to all your endless bullshit
A riflettori e paillette delle televisioni A spotlight and sequin of televisions
Alle urla scomposte di politicanti professionisti To the broken screams of professional politicians
A quelle vostre glorie vuote da coglioni… To those empty glories of yours ...
E dico addio al mondo inventato del villaggio globale And I say goodbye to the invented world of the global village
Alle diete per mantenersi in forma smagliante To diets to keep yourself in great shape
A chi parla sempre di un futuro trionfale To those who always talk about a triumphal future
E ad ogni impresa di questo secolo trionfante And to every enterprise of this triumphant century
Alle magie di moda delle religioni orientali To the fashion magic of oriental religions
Che da noi nascondono soltanto vuoti di pensiero Which from us hide only empty thoughts
Ai personaggi cicaleggianti dei talk-show To the chattering characters of talk shows
Che squittiscono ad ogni ora un nuovo «vero» That squeak a new "true" every hour
Alle futilità pettegole sui calciatori miliardari To the futility of gossip about billionaire footballers
Alle loro modelle senza umanità To their models without humanity
Alle sempiterne belle in gara sui calendari To the beautiful eternal girls competing on the calendars
A chi dimentica o ignora l’umiltà… To those who forget or ignore humility ...
Io, figlio d’una casalinga e di un impiegato Me, the son of a housewife and an employee
Cresciuto fra i saggi ignoranti di montagna Raised among the ignorant mountain sages
Che sapevano Dante a memoria e improvvisavano di poesia Who knew Dante by heart and improvised poetry
Io, tirato su a castagne ed ad erba spagna Me, raised to chestnuts and to grass spain
Io, sempre un momento fa, campagnolo inurbato I, always a moment ago, an urbanized farmer
Due soldi d’elementari ed uno d’università Two money for elementary and one for university
Ma sempre il pensiero a quel paese mai scordato But always the thought of that country never forgotten
Dove ritrovo anche oggi quattro soldi di civiltà… Where I still find four sous of civilization today ...
Io dico addio a chi si nasconde con protervia dietro a un dito I say goodbye to whoever hides arrogantly behind a finger
A chi non sceglie, non prende parte, non si sbilancia Those who do not choose, do not take part, do not lose their balance
O sceglie a caso per i tiramenti del momento Or he chooses at random for the draws of the moment
Curando però sempre di riempirsi la pancia But always taking care to fill your belly
E dico addio alle commedie tragiche dei sepolcri imbiancati And I say goodbye to the tragic comedies of whitewashed tombs
Ai ceroni ed ai parrucchini per signore To greasepaint and ladies' wigs
Alle lampade e tinture degli eterni non invecchiati To the lamps and tinctures of the unaged eternals
Al mondo fatto di ruffiani e di puttane a ore To the world made up of pimps and whores by the hour
A chi si dichiara di sinistra e democratico To those who declare themselves left and democratic
Però è amico di tutti perché non si sa mai But he is everyone's friend because you never know
E poi anche chi è di destra ha i suoi pregi e gli è simpatico And then even those who are on the right have their merits of him and they like him
Ed è anche fondamentalista per evitare guai And he is also a fundamentalist to avoid trouble
A questo orizzonte di affaristi e d’imbroglioni To this horizon of businessmen and cheaters
Fatto di nebbia, pieno di sembrare Made of fog, full of seeming
Ricolmo di nani, ballerine e canzoni Filled with dwarfs, dancers and songs
Di lotterie, l’unica fede il cui sperare… Of lotteries, the only faith to hope for ...
Nell’anno Novantanove di nostra vita In the ninety-nine year of our life
Io, giullare da niente, ma indignato Me, no jester, but indignant
Anch’io qui canto con parola sfinita Here, too, I sing with an exhausted word
Con un ruggito che diventa belato With a roar that becomes bleating
Ma a te dedico queste parole da poco But I have recently dedicated these words to you
Che sottendono solo un vizio antico Which only imply an ancient vice
Sperando però che tu non le prenda come un gioco But hoping that you don't take them as a game
Tu, ipocrita uditore, mio simile… You, hypocritical hearer, my fellow man ...
Mio amico…My friend…
