LA RECENSIONE

Today gasoline costs more and more. Svalutation

And I, my love, don't understand why. Twenty years or maybe more have passed, at least 3 generations, dear Adriano, I haven't understood it either, but it keeps increasing exponentially. But we cannot live on bread alone, so if you really think about it, what do we care if it has to be svalutation, let it be svalutation.

And let's not be fooled by the usual clichés, in short, let's get involved. Let's make a change in this cruel, bad, infamous, and even a bit nasty world. Let's put it in their ass (Desciamp), let's show them who we are.


Therefore, when the gas station attendant, with his swindling manner, tells us: "but you know we've gone up twenty cents this week," we, like the good little scouts we are, will look into the balls of his eyes, and with all the coldness that Mother Of Nature has taken, we'll respond: "Svalutation, and I, my love, don't understand why." But he knows; it seems not, but he knows. Trust me.

02   Svalutation (03:06)

Eh la benzina ogni giorno costa sempre di più
e la lira cede e precipita giù
svalutation, svalutation.
Cambiando i governi niente cambia lassù
c'è un buco nello Stato dove i soldi van giù
svalutation, svalutation.

Io amore mio non capisco perché
cerco per le ferie un posto al mare e non c'è
svalutation, svalutation.

Con il salario di un mese compri solo un caffè
gli stadi son gremiti ma la gente dov'è
svalutation, svalutation.

Mah,
siamo in crisi ma,
senza andare in là
l'America è qua.

In automobile a destra da trent'anni si va
ora contromano vanno in tanti si sa
che scontration, che scontration.

Con la nuova banca dei sequestri che c'è
ditemi il valore della vita qual è
svalutation, svalutation.

Io amore mio non capisco perché
tu vuoi fare il gallo poi fai l'uovo per me
sul lettation, sul lettation.

Nessuno che ci insegna a non uccidereè
si vive più di armi che di pane perché
assassination, assassination.

Ma quest'Italia qua se lo vuole sa
che ce la farà
e il sistema c'è
quando pensi a te
pensa... anche un po' per me

 It seems like a joke, but this song is from 1976. 30 years later we’re in the same situation criticized by one of the few Italian singer-songwriters who tell the reality of our country.

 Adriano might be a good man, but as an artist, he doesn’t have much imagination. He has produced a bunch of useless, monotonous, and boring albums.
