A Cristo Originale - Antonello Venditti
Go back quietly, quietly to Galilee
that truly is a productive land
at least take back the land that was yours
from the shameful eye of a Moses - Moshe Dayan -
This I have learned through not-so-clear channels
from an august emperor who hangs out at the bar - a drunkard
Now you have to explain to me, oh my Lord,
why you’re not here or there anymore.
[...]
certain gentlemen who are remade Quakers - the Americans
have invented stronger angels - the phantom X-
than those built hastily here
they don’t even have time to fly.
They even got my cousin involved
who's always called Berzebù
and what can I tell you, I’m not moving,
I’m looking for a cool spot, I’m staying here"
[...]
And we don’t mind our own business.
We really don’t, for heaven’s sake;
don’t mind your own business until peace will come.
