Sud America(original) |
Il giorno tropicale era un sudario |
davanti ai grattacieli era un sipario |
campa decentemente e intanto spera |
di essere prossimamente milionario |
Luomo ch venuto da lontano |
ha la genialit di uno Schiaffino |
ma religiosamente tocca il pane |
e guarda le sue stelle uruguaiane. |
Ah Sudamerica |
E i ballerini aspettano su una gamba |
lultima carit di unaltra rumba |
Ah Sudamerica |
Era ancestrale il gesto tropicale, |
un arco dal sereno al fortunale, |
per dirti quanto grande la questione |
tra il danneggiato e lassicurazione. |
Si arrende il vento ai suoi capelli spessi |
di Dio ti dice che sta li a due passi |
ma mentre va indicando laltopiano |
le labbra fanno il verso dellaeroplano. |
Ah Sudamerica |
E i ballerini aspettano su una gamba |
lultima carit di unaltra rumba |
(translation) |
The tropical day was a shroud |
in front of the skyscrapers was a curtain |
he lives decently and in the meantime he hopes |
to be a millionaire in the near future |
The man who came from afar |
has the genius of a Schiaffino |
but religiously touches the bread |
and look at its Uruguayan stars. |
Ah South America |
And the dancers wait on one leg |
the last charity of another rumba |
Ah South America |
The tropical gesture was ancestral, |
an arc from the serene to the stormy, |
to tell you how big the matter is |
between the injured party and the insurance. |
The wind surrenders to her thick hair |
God tells you that he is there a stone's throw away |
but as he goes pointing to the plateau |
his lips make the noise of the airplane. |
Ah South America |
And the dancers wait on one leg |
the last charity of another rumba |
