At this point I should talk to you
About something that might interest you
Something that isnāt trivial
And that isnāt unconstitutional
In our traditional lexicon
Thereās a word with a deadly rhyme
Maybe thatās why itās been used so little
Iām talking about the lasso
This isnāt just any word
Itās a word with a very ancient history
Just hearing it makes me feel cheerful
Now I wonder, what do you have against the lasso?
If you knew what it means
Youād stop standing there snickering
Perhaps thatās how you mask the embarrassment
Over the rhyme of the lasso
All together
Lasso, letās sing loud all together
Lasso, we shout higher and higher
Lasso until someone claims
That weāve broken
Lasso, thereās no word more innocent
Lasso, and we say it openly
Lasso, from this evening the whole world will have
Its lasso song
But thatās not what I meant to say
For a moment, just listen to me
For this lasso, Iāve lost many nights
I even went to Gallarate for it
For this evening Iāll let you go
But promise me to study tomorrow
And when we all meet again
Weāll do the lasso test
All together
Lasso, letās sing loud all together
Lasso, we shout higher and higher
Lasso until someone claims
That weāve broken
Lasso, thereās no word more innocent
Lasso, and we say it openly
Lasso, the public force will stop us
On the pretext of the
Lasso, and weāll sing a bit quieter
Lasso, keeping time with our hands
Lasso until even the others join us
And all together
Lasso will be a general mess
Lasso, the whole world must scream
Lasso, and it will reach television
And finally
Lasso in the parliamentary assembly
Lasso and all along the coastline
Lasso, from this evening the whole world will have
Its lasso song
