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.
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.
