  la chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 lasciatemi cantare
 perché  sono fiero
 sono l’italiano

 Buongiorno  gli spaghetti al dente
  un partigiano come Presidente
 con l’autoradio sempre nella mano 
  canarino sopra la finestra
  Italia con i suoi artisti
 con  America sui manifesti
  le canzoni, con amore,
 con il cuore
 con più  sempre meno suore
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con  occhi pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai  ci sono anch’io

 Buongiorno Italia  non si spaventa
 con la crema da  da menta
 con un  gessato sul blu
 e la moviola la domenica  TV
 Buongiorno Italia  caffe’ ristretto
 le calze nuove nel  cassetto
  la bandiera in tintoria
 e una 600  di carrozzeria
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
  gli occhi pieni di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo  che ci sono anch’io
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con  chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché  sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con  chitarra in mano
 lasciatemi cantare
  canzone piano piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché  sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.

 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti not very cooked;  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 scotti).
 [2] In the 80’s the  of the Italian Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against the fascism during the Second World War.
 [3] In the nouveau riche Italy  the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
  It is well known that Italy is the country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political criticism: after  Second World War the Italian culture was invaded 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  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).
 [7]  is la Madonna, the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is  key of the interpretation of the text. The Author, with eyes full of melancholy for seeing Italy in so bad conditions, is frightened of God having forgot him.
 [9]  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) 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  of Italy in the 80’s.
 [12] Full of  Toto didn’t find words to express his thoughts.
