Canzonenoznac (original)Canzonenoznac (translation)
Il leader della parte scura The leader of the dark side
Dietro una barba quasi nera Behind an almost black beard
Diceva cose alla sua gente He said things to his people
A voce bassa come sempre; In a low voice as always;
E ricordava cose antiche And he remembered ancient things
Proibite ma pur sempre vive Forbidden but still alive
Come il martini con le olive Like martini with olives
Dal millenovecentottanta Since nineteen eighty
Anno di grazia e d’alleanza Year of grace and covenant
Felice e immobile la gente Happy and motionless people
Viveva solo del presente; He lived only in the present;
Ma lui a quei pochi che riuniva But he to those few he gathered
Come una nenia ripeteva Like a dirge he repeated
Quel suo programma che chiedeva That program of him that he was asking for
Fosse permesso ricordare It was allowed to remember
Fosse permesso ricordare It was allowed to remember
Poi ricordò che era vietato Then he remembered that it was forbidden
Nel mondo nuovo anche il passato In the new world, even the past
Il leader della parte chiara The leader of the clear part
Con quella cicatrice amara With that bitter scar
Sul mento a forma di radice Root-shaped on the chin
Gridava «Abbasso questa paace» He shouted "Down with this peace"
Coi pochi giovani insultava With the few young people he insulted
La polizia che costringeva The police who forced
Soltanto ad essere felici: Just to be happy:
Ed abbatteva e rifaceva And he broke down and did it again
Palazzi d’arte e di cultura Palaces of art and culture
E delle bibite e del niente And drinks and nothing
Sì, ma soltanto con la mente; Yes, but only with the mind;
E all’occorenza le prendeva And if necessary he would take them
davanti ai giudici abiurava before the judges he abjured
Ma appena uscito risognava But as soon as he got out he was dreaming
Fosse possibile cambiare It were possible to change
Fosse possibile sperare It was possible to hope
Ma la speranza era un difetto But hope was a flaw
Nel mondo ormai così perfetto In the world now so perfect
E il leader con la cicatrice And the leader with the scar
Credeva l’altro più felice He believed the other happier
E l’altro quello con la barba And the other one with a beard
Di lui diceva «È pieno d’erba»; He said of him "It's full of grass";
Si sospettavano a vicenda They suspected each other
Di fare solamente scena To only make a scene
D’essere schiavi del sistema To be slaves to the system
E l’uno l’altro beffeggiava And each other mocked
E l’altro l’uno ricambiava And the other reciprocated
Pur descrivendo alla rinfusa While describing in bulk
Due volti di una stessa accusa: Two faces of the same accusation:
Che era impossibile cambiare That it was impossible to change
Tornare indietro, andare avanti Go back, go forward
Avere voglia di sbagliare Wanting to make mistakes
Come ad esempio ricordare Such as remembering
Come ad esempio ricordare Such as remembering
Questo ricordo era un difetto This memory was a flaw
Nel mondo ormai così perfetto In the world now so perfect
Né si poteva più cambiare Nor could it be changed anymore
Né si poteva più sperare Nor could one hope any longer
Questa speranza era un difetto This hope was a flaw
Nel mondo ormai così perfetto In the world now so perfect
E il leader della parte chiara And the leader of the clear part
Pianse di rabbia quella sera He cried in anger that evening
Seduto sopra la sua vita Sitting above his waist
Perduta come una partita; Lost like a match;
Ma il servofreno dentro il cuore But the brake booster inside the heart
Che scatta al minimo segnale That goes off at the slightest signal
Gli eliminò tutto il dolore It took away all the pain
E il leader della parte scura And the leader of the dark side
Contando i passi e la paura Counting the steps and fear
Si avvicinò alle parti estreme He went to the extreme parts
Dove correva un giorno il fiume Where the river once ran
Ricostruendo da un declivo Rebuilding from a slope
L’ultima chiesa, un vecchio bivio The last church, an old crossroads
L’acqua e l’amore che non c’era The water and the love that was not there
Si sentì stanco in quel momento He felt tired at that moment
Tolse la barba e sopra il mento He removed his beard and over his chin
Apparve a forma di radice He appeared in the shape of a root
Quella sua vecchia cicatriceThat old scar of yours
