 Lasciatemi cantare

 Buongiorno Italia  spaghetti al dente
 e un  come Presidente
 con l’autoradio sempre  mano destra
 un  sopra la finestra
  Italia con i suoi artisti
 con troppa  sui manifesti
 con  canzoni, con amore,
  il cuore
  più donne sempre meno suore

 Buongiorno Italia che non  spaventa
 con la  da barba da menta
 con un vestito gessato sul 
 e la moviola la domenica  TV
 Buongiorno  col caffe’ ristretto
 le  nuove nel primo cassetto
  la bandiera in tintoria
 e  600 giù di carrozzeria
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli  pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai  ci sono anch’io
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la  in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché  sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la  in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone  piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne  fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.

 I’m  Italian
 
 Good morning Italy, the spaghetti  dente [1]
 And a partisan for  [2]
 With the  radio always in the right hand [3]
  a canary over the window
 
 Good morning Italy  your artists [4]

  songs, with love, with heart
 With more women less and  nuns [6]
 
 Good morning  good morning Maria [7]
 With eyes  of melancholy
 Good  my God

 Let me sing a song softly

 With  gessato dress in blue [9]

 New socks in the first

 And a  with an old bodywork [11]

 --------------
 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti  very cooked; in Italy it is a long standing issue the problem of how long to cook spaghetti. In the south it is preferred to boil them not very much, while in the north they are boiled for a lot of time (spaghetti scotti).
 [2] In the 80’s the president of the Italian Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against  fascism during the Second World War.
 [3] In the nouveau riche Italy  the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is  known that Italy is the country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political criticism: after the Second World War the Italian culture was  by the American myth, il mito Americano.
 [6] There are two different meanings of this verse. The first one is related to a social analysis: in the modern Italy the number of nuns decreased due to secularization of the society. The second one is  women of our times forgot the holy principles of the ancient society; note that in Italy is usual to call suora, nun, a girl that doesn’t go with a man if he doesn’t have serious intentions (marriage).
 [7] Maria is la  the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is the key of the interpretation of the text. The Author, with  full of melancholy for seeing Italy in so bad conditions, is frightened of God having forgot him.
 [9]  is an elegant suit.
 [10] Moviola is the replay of the relevant moments of the  matches of the day, on Sunday evening. Football matches were played on Sunday but it was not possible to see them live on television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600) was a very popular small car produced by FIAT Auto, the symbol of Italian industry (now in deep crisis). The fact  auto has an old bodywork is another symbol of the moral decandence of Italy in the 80’s.
 [12] Full of desperation, Toto didn’t find words to express  thoughts.
