Alzati Giuseppe [English translation]

For you, who knows that his loneliness

is just a lie to survive

for you, who wants to go back to the south

and in teh meantime empties ash trays

for you, who always tried to save money

and didn't end up in a city park

you still live in a dream

to come and to go

to end and to begin

to stay silent and to shout

to find and to lose

for you who kills the evenings playing cards

for you who's always afraid of a brock falling down on his head

for you who keeps all the dreams in a box

for you who tries to act like Pele

for you who laughs and doesn't understand why

for you who always blabs about politics

and keeps going forward with the help of pills

for you whose heart lives in an amusement park

and who falls in love with gallons

for you who counts his own pustules

every morning before coffee time

for you who plays his harmonica

lying in a field of strawberries

to blossom out

to smell

to be glad and to feel desparate

to dirty and to clean

to open and to close

for you who spens the whole year in an old military jacket

for you who plays his own life on numbers

for you who'se always hiding in watermelons

for you who does all the things by halves

for you who's begging for a bit of mercy

stand up, Giuseppe

you've already lost so much time

stand up, Giuseppe

towards your freedom

stand up, Giuseppe

you've got hundreds of years

stand up,Giuseppe

if you want to, you can fly

for you who seems to be sleepwalking

in the thick air of mist

for you who, when he was a little younger,

did a few stupid things

for you who always speaks hit or miss

just because you have a writing desk

for you who plays joyfully

in the dust of a suburban street

to cut and to sew

to leave and to return

to empty and to fill

to go up and to go back down

for you who kills the burdens on a table

for you who looks for luck around the corner

for you who has never done shit

for you who seems a different person with a haircut

for you who suffers and doesn't know why

stand up, Giuseppe

you've already lost so much time

stand up, Giuseppe

towards your freedom

stand up, Giuseppe

you've got hundreds of years

stand up,Giuseppe

if you want to, you can fly
