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

 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti not very cooked; in Italy it is a  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  Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against the fascism during the Second World War.
 [3]  the nouveau riche Italy of the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known that  is the country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a  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  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 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 is la Madonna, the  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.
  Gessato is an elegant suit.
 [10] Moviola is the replay  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 on television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600) was a very popular small car  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.
