🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: L'italiano (L Asciatemi Cantare) - Toto Cutugno

 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la  in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una  piano piano
 lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne  fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
  Italia gli spaghetti al dente
 e un  come Presidente
 con l’autoradio sempre nella  destra
 un canarino sopra  finestra
 Buongiorno Italia  i suoi artisti
 con troppa America  manifesti
 con le canzoni,  amore,
  il cuore
  più donne sempre meno suore
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con  occhi pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai che ci sono 
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra  mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una  piano piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
 Buongiorno Italia che non  spaventa
  la crema da barba da menta
 con un vestito gessato  blu
 e la moviola la  in TV
 Buongiorno Italia col caffe’ 
 le calze  nel primo cassetto
 con la bandiera  tintoria
 e una 600 giù  carrozzeria
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli occhi pieni di 
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai che ci sono 
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con  chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone  piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra in 
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone  piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché  sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.

 Let me 
 With the  in my hands
 Let me 
  an Italian
 
  morning Italy, the spaghetti al dente [1]
 And  partisan for president [2]
 With the car radio always in the right  [3]
 And a canary  the window

 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti not very cooked; in Italy  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 scotti).
 [2] In the 80’s the president of the Italian Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against  fascism during the Second World War.
 [3] In the nouveau riche Italy of the 80’s the car radio  a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known that Italy is  country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political criticism: after the Second World War the Italian culture was  by the American myth, il mito 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 forgot the holy principles of the ancient society; note that  Italy is usual to call suora, nun, a girl that doesn’t go with a man if he doesn’t have serious intentions (marriage).
 [7]  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 for seeing  in so bad conditions, is frightened of God having forgot him.
 [9] Gessato is  elegant suit.
 [10] Moviola is the replay of the relevant moments of the football matches of the day, on Sunday evening. Football matches were played on Sunday but it was not possible to see them live  television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600) was 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  Italy in the 80’s.
  Full of desperation, Toto didn’t find words to express his thoughts.
