 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra in 
 lasciatemi cantare
  canzone piano piano
 lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
  Italia gli spaghetti al dente
 e un partigiano  Presidente
 con l’autoradio sempre nella  destra
 un canarino  la finestra
 Buongiorno Italia con i  artisti
 con  America sui manifesti
 con  canzoni, con amore,
 con il cuore
 con più donne sempre  suore
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli  pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai che ci sono 
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la  in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
  ne sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
 Buongiorno  che non si spaventa
  la crema da barba da menta
 con un vestito  sul blu
 e la  la domenica in TV
 Buongiorno Italia col  ristretto
 le calze nuove nel  cassetto
 con la  in tintoria
 e  600 giù di carrozzeria
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli  pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo  che ci sono anch’io
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
  la chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la  in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone  piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
  ne sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
