L'anarchico e il generale(original) |
| Avvolte in carta di giornale |
| Aveva una pistola ed un cannocchiale |
| Perché una volta ucciso il generale |
| La sua nave avrebbe solcato il mare |
| Avrebbe subito solcato il mare |
| Ma lo presero dopo il fattaccio |
| Così tante botte che non serve il ghiaccio |
| Stette in quella cella così tanti anni |
| Che una volta uscito il figlio aveva figli |
| Tanto che suo figlio aveva avuto figli |
| E tutto intorno era cambiato |
| Non c’eran più compagni, neanche il padronato |
| Il figlio di suo figlio neanche lavorava |
| La figlia di suo figlio dice che ballava |
| La figlia di suo figlio stava lì e ballava |
| Ed i suoi amici artigiani |
| Quasi tutti morti senza successori |
| Disse al nipote «lì puoi lavorare» |
| Ma il nipote non ne voleva sapere |
| Disse che voleva fare il generale |
| E poco prima di morire |
| Andò dalla nipote del generale |
| Non chiese perdono o dette spiegazioni |
| Ma chiuse gli occhi e si lasciò spirare |
| Ed il generale potè vendicare |
| E mentre tutto se ne andava |
| Un bel riposo già si pregustava |
| Ma si trovò davanti al Padre Eterno |
| Che lo spedì diritto all’inferno |
| E con il generale giù a bestemmiare! |
| (translation) |
| Wrapped in newspaper |
| He had a gun and a spyglass |
| Because once the general is killed |
| His ship of his would sail the sea |
| He would immediately sail the sea |
| But they took him after the crime |
| So many blows that you don't need ice |
| He stayed in that cell for so many years |
| That once his son came out he had children |
| So much so that his son had had children |
| And everything around it had changed |
| There were no more companions, not even the bosses |
| His son's son didn't even work |
| Her daughter her her son says she danced |
| Her son's daughter stood there and danced |
| And his artisan friends |
| Almost all of them died without successors |
| He said to his nephew "you can work there" |
| But the nephew didn't want to know |
| He said he wanted to be a general |
| And just before he died |
| He went to the general's niece |
| He did not ask for forgiveness or give explanations |
| But he closed his eyes and let himself expire |
| And the general was able to avenge |
| And while it all went away |
| A good rest was already in anticipation |
| But he found himself before the Eternal Father |
| Which sent him straight to hell |
| And with the general down cursing! |
