Ritratto dello zio (original)Ritratto dello zio (translation)
Caro, vecchio zio fascista Dear, old fascist uncle
È vero che avete fatto un bel casino It is true that you have made quite a mess
Ricordo dai racconti di mia madre I remember from my mother's stories
Che sei andato a Roma a piedi, da Milano That you went to Rome on foot, from Milan
A istinto io ti ho sempre giudicato By instinct I have always judged you
Come uno che si accende e non ragiona As one who turns on and does not think
E ho fatto un po' di facile ironia And I did some easy irony
Senza capire mai la tua persona Without ever understanding your person
Direi che eri un po' stupido e felice I would say you were a bit stupid and happy
Coerente con l’immagine del duce Consistent with the image of the Duce
A ventun anni avevi già una figlia At twenty-one you already had a daughter
La guerra tutta tua e l’idea della famiglia The war of your own and the idea of ​​the family
Ai tempi in cui cadevano le bombe Back when the bombs fell
Mostravi con orgoglio il tuo coraggio You proudly showed your courage
Eppure ti piaceva l’aria fresca Yet you liked the fresh air
Delle mattine limpide di maggio Clear May mornings
L’uomo è quasi sempre meglio Man is almost always better
Rispetto alla propria ideologia Respect to their own ideology
Ricordo quella volta che piangevi I remember that time you used to cry
E quanto stavi male per la zia And how bad you were for your aunt
Del resto il segreto del fascismo After all, the secret of fascism
È nel simbolo del fascio littoriale It is in the symbol of the fasces
E appena un fascettino si è staccato And as soon as a bundle came off
Svanisce la sua forza criminale He vanishes his criminal strength
Caro, vecchio zio fascista Dear, old fascist uncle
A vederti innaffiare le tue rose To see you water your roses
Ancora non mi entra nella testa It still doesn't fit into my head
Come hai potuto fare certe cose How could you do certain things
Sorridi accarezzando i tuoi nipoti Smile while caressing your grandchildren
Con una commozione così vera With such real emotion
Hai sempre avuto il cuore troppo tenero You always had a too soft heart
E la testa troppo dura And the head too hard
Negli uomini politici di oggi In today's politicians
C'è come un grosso salto di statura There is like a big leap in stature
Ma c’hanno ancora il cuore troppo tenero But they still have too soft hearts
E la testa troppo duraAnd the head too hard
