L'onorevole [English translation]
L'onorevole [English translation]
He got a job and lost a woman
He went to the canal to look for the moon
But he found his other face in the brackish water, it was darker
And he pretended he's never been afraid
He pretended he's never loved anyone
He went to the bar of the empty sky
Drinking is cheap
You only pay twice for it the day after
He ordered three glasses full of ice and one of forgiveness
And he took to skirt the path of the superman
In the morning, colleagues from the "Stomach and shells" office found him full of respect
Dream of wives, perfect for daughters
Perfect, perfect
The news of the death arrived in the afternoon
In the yellow emptiness of a new chatter
The party employees went to the ranks
With the humps folded in the right way
His coffin was a lectern of ash and birch
And a speech that said everything and said nothing
And in front of the questions of a beautiful and brunette journalist
He pretended he's never been afraid
He pretended he's never loved anyone
The following day he showed up at work
With empty eyes and a cold
And he had just died recently
It was passed ten or twelve hours
But the signs of death were evident
And he had lottery tickets instead of teeth
Prickly pears instead of ears
Chopsticks instead of hands
And instead of dogs a starched herd of human beings
And when they told him the economy was sick
And that hunger was the best cure
He pretended he's never been afraid
He pretended he's never loved anyone
Just a week after his funeral
His head was turned on his back
But he found a way to remedy it
He called General Panciapiena
And he ordered the most ferocious bombings on all his past dreams
In defense of the people and the following days
A year later, only bones could be seen
Everything was gone, even the smell
And he looked from the top of his grave to the people who were demonstrating in the square
And he saw his beloved in the crowd
With stormy tears over her face
And when he saw that she was being trampled
He did not disappear, but smiled
He pretended he's never been afraid
He pretended he's never loved anyone
he's never loved anyone
My love, what can I do?
This winter that has frozen your blood flatters you
My love I will bury you
This night that has covered my face pleases you
