Canzonenoznac

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