Alamo (original)Alamo (translation)
Il generale Santa Anna che si credeva Dio General Santa Anna who believed himself to be God
ci diede una settimana e fece suonare l’addio he gave us a week and sounded goodbye
per una resa senza condizioni… for an unconditional surrender ...
Noi lo spernacchiavamo, gli davamo del frocio, We spanked him, called him a fag,
gli facevamo vedere le corna e le chiappe del culo we showed him the horns and the buttocks of the ass
da sopra i bastioni… from above the ramparts ...
… Ed erano i giorni del sole alto … And it was the days of the high sun
e del cielo basso: and of the low sky:
erano i giorni di Alamo che non si arrendeva; it was the days of the Alamo not giving up;
e a nessuno, a nessuno di noi due and none, neither of us
sarebbe venuto in mente it would come to mind
di aprire quella porta to open that door
di consegnarsi al nemico to surrender to the enemy
in quella primavera… in that spring ...
… Quando i tuoi capelli neri … When your hair is black
mi bruciavano sopra il cuore, they burned over my heart,
quando i tuoi capelli neri when your hair is black
non mi facevano respirare, they didn't make me breathe,
quando ad Alamo c’eravamo when we were at the Alamo
noi due soli in tutto il mondo: the two of us alone in the whole world:
e non mi accorgevo allora, and I didn't notice then,
non capivo di avere tanto. I didn't understand I had so much.
E da Alamo And from the Alamo
o si vien via coi piedi avanti or you walk away with your feet forward
oppure ci si traveste da messicani: or dress up as Mexicans:
e tu hai pensato che questo and you thought this
fosse il modo migliore. was the best way.
Così dicesti: «Scusami, So you said: "I'm sorry,
ma quelli son così tanti but those are so many
che avranno pure ragione; who will also be right;
non possiamo mica restare we can't stay
tutta la vita qui a fare l’amore»… all my life here making love "...
… E ti vidi per l’ultima volta ... And I saw you for the last time
sulla tua piccola «Renault» on your little "Renault"
assassinare la strada assassinate the street
insieme a uno che mi assomigliava: along with one who looked like me:
e rimasi lì, perché Alamo c'è and I stayed there, because the Alamo is there
finché qualcuno ci crede; as long as someone believes it;
rimasi come il guardiano I remained as the guardian
di un tempo che non ritornava… of a time that never returned ...
… Quando i tuoi capelli neri … When your hair is black
mi bruciavano sopra il cuore; they burned over my heart;
quando i tuoi capelli neri when your hair is black
non mi facevano respirare; they didn't make me breathe;
quando non tornava il giorno when the day did not return
finché noi non volevamo: until we wanted:
dov'è andato tutto questo, where did all this go
tutto quello che eravamo? all we were
E se passerai ricordati And if you pass, remember
di portarmi i miei vestiti, to bring me my clothes,
ché qui ad Alamo fa freddo because it's cold here in the Alamo
e senza te non ne ho comprati; and without you I have not bought any;
e salutami quell’uomo and say hello to that man
che ti ama e mi assomiglia: who loves you and looks like me:
io da qui ti penso sempre, from here I always think of you,
e tu scrivimi, se ne hai vogliaand you write to me, if you feel like it
