Adriano Celentano
L'Animale

Listen but................. Is it really true that you.................. Why.............................

What Adriano?

Why what? Nothing, point, the sentence is over.

What's Rock and what isn't?

Trash television isn't rock, the media isn't rock, speculation isn't rock..

I am ROCK, end of story.

You, but just you who's reading, yes you, I'm talking to you, well, I can tell you that.......................................................................

Nothing, it was a thought, just to exchange a few words, to talk a bit, now I'm going, bye.

NO - O - O - O!! NO - O - O - O. Bye guys bye, bye guys bye, why don't you laught anymooooore, now I'm here with you..

You are strong, really strong, no but it's just that.....................

What Adriano?

Nothing, it is what it is, right?

Yes but tell us something about this world? You who know..

No, it's just that, maybe, if I told you, no but.. You couldn't understand, because you're not rock, I am rock, and that's it..

I take the newspaper and read that there are no righteous people in the world... Is that enough for you?

No come on, it's not enough, tell us more!

Gosh, I thought that........................................

What?

Ooohhhh (?christ).. Nothing, I was thinking..

I'm getting emotional..

What do you feel?

Nothing, "emotion has no voice", it's made of long pauses and then.....................

Then?

Mind your own business, then nothing..

Look Adriano, "the rainbow"

.. Eh I know, it's my love message, but you, what do you know about love, you were born in a time where there is no................

What?

Nothing, there's nothing, but who the hell are you and why are you asking me all these questions and interrupting my pauses, do I know you?

No..

Good, then let's talk, I like you, maybe you too, later.. maybe.. you'll become..

What Adriano? Rock? Like you?

No............ That's just me..

Oh sorry..

Adriano, you're so lucky, you've been married for a lifetime and you still love your wife and she still loves you today.. How would you describe your "Love story"?

Well, she loved me, she hated me, she hated me, she loved me, she was against me.. She seemed like an angel, then went with him, just to make me jealous, then she came back and was already sick before being with me..

Oh..

So is love a dream? Or do dreams help you fall in love better?

"More than a dream", love is............................ But what do you know about love, you can't understand, you're too....................

What?

Nothing, you're not rock enough yet..

Oh, so I've become a bit?

No, it's that I was wrong, too many thoughts between one pause and another lead to rambling.

Do you like motorcycles?

Yes, but mine is broken, sometimes I take hers, Mina's, but I have to go all the way to Switzerland, you know.... It's a long way, and then she doesn't always open the door, sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on............................

I know, she doesn't like people much..

No it's just that........ Her motorbike, with the motor I've heard tuned, I like it, it's very rock, but she lets me drive it little, then invites me for tea, sometimes gets it wrong and forgets the tea bag, she puts some "salt" in the "water".. Strange person even if.....................

What? Did you get to the heart?

No, even if point.

Now "sleep love"..

So you love me? But it's three in the afternoon, isn't it early?

No just sleep, you're starting to..........................................

I'm annoying right?

No it's just that when you start you can't stop...... And then...... Then I want to give you "a caress", but.....................

I'd rather close it "in a punch" and punch you in the nose sometimes, you know? But I don't do it, violence isn't rock, and I am rock, remember..

Oh right.. Sorry if I get on your nerves..

Listen............................. "Open your heart" come on and then I might confess something to you..................

Alright, I fell in love with you, how I did I don't know, there's no real reason, she was beautiful though..

This is Lucio, and then the lyrics......... It's wrong.... This isn't rock.. And then, I'm busy even if........................

What? Do you like me a little?

No.

It's just that my wife's "Jealousy" you don't know... She might even................

What? Kill me?

No, she might call you in the middle of the night and.....

What?

But no, nothing, it's just that she doesn't sleep at night and I gave her your number in case she wants to talk to someone so she doesn't wake me up..

Oh.. And what should I tell her?

Try with "You pierced my life" even if then......................

Then what?

Eeehhh, then.......................

I get angry...

Don't even think about sending her flowers, "A rose" could be "dangerous"...

Does she like roses?

No, she loves thorns and plays strange games with me..

Are you sadomasochistic?

Sometimes, you know, to beat boredom..

Anyway she will remain "The last woman I love" and don't try, otherwise.....................

What?

Otherwise I'll come looking for you and............. Once I have you in front of me, I'll tell you........................

Hey, sleep buddy, it's better.. Because "The situation isn't good", and you, "Dreaming Chernobyl", you will fall asleep, but don't be afraid..

Why?

Even if in the "World", ....... I like E7 chord did you know that?..... No it's just that in the world.............................

What?

If in the World there's always a war, I'll be next to you and when you wake up, we'll go together down the street counting "The steps we take" and, luckily, we made it to the moon..

And what the hell do we do here?

I don't know, but the moon is rock, the earth isn't..

Look Adriano, you can see Via Gluck from here too..

No, just houses and cement, where there was grass now there's a city..

Why? Did they destroy everything?

No, Bob Marley passed through.....

And that boy in the grass, where will he be? Maybe.......

Where?

How the hell do I know.

Do you know that gasoline costs more every day and the lira falls and plunges down?

I know, I already said it, but today................

What?

Today there's the euro............... The euro isn't rock..

I don't care, I'm rock and "I'm a free man"..

But weren't you busy?

Who?

You?

Me?

............................................... Maybe, but anyway .... "Prisencolinensinainclusol".

What the hell does it mean?

Nothing, but it sounded very rock..

Cool..

I've got to say that........... "Air, it's not you anymore" and you live forced in hiding..

Come on? And where?

At Michael Jackson's house.. Michael Jackson is not rock..

Look, a tree, do you like trees?

Yes, especially "A tree of thirty pines", but it's hard to find you know?

I know..

"There's always a reason"................

For what? "I want to know"..

But what do you want to know? You know nothing and you'll never know, because............

I'm not rock eh?

No, you're not rock..

You are like "The last of the birds", you will have a short and tormented life..

But what kind of birds Adriano?

Those without feathers...

I greet you now "Man", do you have the "car"?

No, the car isn't rock... And then....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Then what?

Then it will be a bit of my business, I walk, feet are rock, you're not.. And don't try to follow me..

Trash television isn't rock, the media isn't rock, speculation isn't rock..

I am ROCK, end of story.

Shhhhhhh.. Listen.... Come here...

What's up?

Releasing a double collection at ?. 27.90, with the horrible cover of that beautiful song "La Cura", a month before Christmas isn't rock but.........................

But what?

Don't tell anyone.....

(Author's note: Elvis Presley did great things, inspired many great artists, Elvis Presley is rock.. The King.. His only fault is that of having created a generation of monsters in Italy. A great clan..)

(Author's note 2: I ask the Editors to immediately place it among the cases..)
