Italy is a land
a long walk from the ground lunnnnnnnga
My father came from outside
us kids did not know where
took off his jacket and shoes
you put a finger on
turn a globe of land and sea
he called the World
Italy is a land a land long
lunnnnnnnga
to hate my father take me to drink, O, that I thirst back
said
studying each restless sweaty
Globo that land and sea
Water is the hole in the wall
nell'anfora sultry copper
My mother takes the wind takes
fog rain
small patient a bit 'strange
the well Artesian
not get enough of the thirst
Italy is a land a land long
lunnnnnnnga
to see
Now we all know
only turn the ball
he is thirsty or terror
always in surplus on returns
prepare the highest
pitcher who ends up taking
Do not miss the flowers on the balcony
Italy is a land a land long
lunnnnnnnga
to own
said
There is no water even if I know if I know Oh
But
walk walk and walk in front of you are always thirsty
until one realizes the DESERT
has no end or beginning if
We pressed on his chest
Italy is a land a land long
lunnnnnnnga
as resentment
Take the train or the horse
even when the truck passed
saying today reaches the sea
He was out three days a
months and when he came back tired
knew
brutalized his pockets with sand and sea water
We climbed the highest hill on a Sunday morning
to see where my father came
The sea was not there behind
and a pastor told us back up the other hill
Italy is a land a land lunnnnnnnga
long as the heartache
L 'Africa is what it takes ol'America
and always ran his finger
that globe of land and sea
to find the land that we wanted We grew up in the dark
of a cent of land that is not enough
thirst el 'Italy is a land a land long
lunnnnnnnnnnnnga
to forget Time has come to America
puts the bolts to machinery
has a garden with a garage all the plants
l’acqua che vuole negli idranti
E’ diventato più giovane ed esperto
più quieto più tondo un po’ bolso
L’America è fatta di acqua
dice appena ridendo ai nuovi che vengono
ma pensa a quella che manca al paese
(o l’hanno poi messa al paese?)
e alle donne scomparse che un tempo
pazienti modeste un po’ strane
prendevano l’acqua coi secchi
al pozzo artesiano.
L’Italia è una terra lunga
una terra lunnnnnnnga
