La favola di Adamo ed Eva [English translation]

Good heavens, I feel so sorry for you:

choked up, swallowed down like ascolana olives,1

meat skewers lined up on motorways,

paying at the toll booth just to say thank you,

thinking they’re successful after a long weekend.2

I beg pardon, I find it a bit excessive,

paying three times for a litre of petrol,3

hearing them reply — with copper smiles —4

that they are forced to do that because of the exchange rate market.

To hell with you and your lies!

I seem to notice a slight decrease in the social spirit,

the fickle version of a human being

which I didn’t expect to fall upon a man

so funny and naïve that he still believes

the tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve.

I say what I think and I do what I say,

action is important, we’re people too distracted

by things concerning future lives and ghosts,

but the future is touching, eating, coughing, falling ill with love.

I seem to notice a slight decrease in the social spirit,

the fickle version of a human being

which I didn’t expect to fall upon a man

so funny and naïve that he still believes

the tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve,

tale of Adam and Eve.

Tale of Adam and Eve.

Tale of Adam and Eve.

Tale of Adam and Eve.

Tale of Adam and Eve.
