 un  sopra la finestra
 Buongiorno  con i suoi artisti
 con troppa America sui

 con la bandiera  tintoria
 e una 600 giù di 
 Buongiorno Italia

 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra  mano
 lasciatemi cantare

 Lasciatemi cantare
  la chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una  piano piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.

  me sing
 With the  in my hands
  me sing
  an Italian
 
 Good morning Italy,  spaghetti al dente [1]
 And  partisan for president [2]
 With the car radio always in the right hand 
 And a  over the window
 
 Good morning Italy  your artists [4]
 Too  America on the posters [5]
 With songs, with love,  heart
 With more  less and less nuns [6]
 
 Good morning Italy, good morning Maria 
  eyes full of melancholy
 Good morning my 
 You know that I’m here too 
 
 Let me sing with the  in my hand
 Let me  a song softly softly
 Let me sing because I’m  of that
 I’m an Italian,  real Italian
 
 Good morning Italy that is  afraid at all
  the mint shaving foam
  a gessato dress in blue [9]
 And the moviola on Sunday on the TV 
 
  morning Italy with espresso coffee
 New  in the first drawer
 With  flag in the laundry
 And a  with an old bodywork [11]
 
 Good morning  good morning Maria
 With sweet eyes of 
 Good morning  God
 You know that  here too
 
 Let me sing with the guitar  my hand
 Let  sing a song softly softly
 Let me sing because I’m proud  that
 I’m  Italian, a real Italian
 
 Pa ra ra ra ra ra ra  ra ra ra ra ra ra

 Pa ra pa ra ra pa ra pa Pa ra pa ra ra pa ra 
 Pa ra pa, pa ra pa Pa ra pa, pa ra pa 
 
 Let me sing  the guitar in my hand
 Let me sing a song softly 
 Let me sing because I’m  of that
 I’m an Italian,  real Italian

 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti not very cooked; in Italy it is a long standing issue the problem of how long to cook spaghetti. In the south it is preferred to boil them not very much, while in the north they are boiled for a lot of time (spaghetti 
 [2] In the 80’s the president  the Italian Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against the fascism during the Second World War.
 [3] In  nouveau riche Italy of the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known that Italy is the country of saints, poets,  sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political criticism: after the Second World War the Italian culture was invaded by the American myth, il  Americano.
 [6] There are two different meanings of this verse. The first one is related to a social analysis: in the modern Italy the number of nuns decreased due to secularization of the society. The second one is moral: women of our times  the holy principles of the ancient society; note that in Italy is usual to call suora, nun, a girl that doesn’t go with a man if he doesn’t have serious intentions (marriage).
  Maria is la Madonna, the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is the key of the interpretation of the text. The Author, with eyes full of melancholy  seeing Italy in so bad conditions, is frightened of God having forgot him.
  Gessato is an elegant suit.
 [10] Moviola is the replay of the relevant moments of the football matches of the day, on Sunday evening.  matches were played on Sunday but it was not possible to see them live on television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600)  a very popular small car produced by FIAT Auto, the symbol of Italian industry (now in deep crisis). The fact the auto has an old bodywork is another symbol of the moral decandence of Italy in the 80’s.
 [12] Full  desperation, Toto didn’t find words to express his thoughts.
