 Buongiorno Italia gli  al dente
 e un partigiano come

 un canarino  la finestra
 Buongiorno  con i suoi artisti
 con troppa America  manifesti

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

 Let  sing
 With the  in my hands
 Let  sing
 I’m  Italian
 
 Good morning Italy, the spaghetti  dente [1]
 And a partisan for president 
 With the car radio always in the right  [3]
 And  canary over the window
 
 Good morning Italy with your artists 
 Too much America on the  [5]
 With songs, with love, with 
 With more women less and less nuns 
 
 Good morning  good morning Maria [7]
 With  full of melancholy
 Good morning  God
 You know that  here too [8]
 
 Let me sing with the guitar  my hand
 Let me sing a  softly softly
  me sing because I’m proud of that
 I’m an Italian,  real Italian
 
 Good morning Italy that  not afraid at all
 With the mint shaving 
 With  gessato dress in blue [9]
 And the moviola on  on the TV [10]
 
 Good morning  with espresso coffee
  socks in the first drawer
 With the flag  the laundry
 And a  with an old bodywork [11]
 
 Good morning  good morning Maria
 With sweet eyes  melancholy

 [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  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 the fascism during the Second World 
 [3] In the  riche Italy of the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known that Italy  the country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5]  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 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  to secularization of the society. The second one is moral: women of our times forgot 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).
 [7] Maria  la Madonna, the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is the key of the interpretation of the text. The  with eyes full of melancholy for seeing Italy 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  see them live on television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600) was a very popular small car produced  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 of desperation, Toto  find words to express his thoughts.
