Bomba o Non Bomba
Antonello Venditti
Bomb or Not Bomb
They left in two and were quite enough,
A piano, a guitar, and a lot of imagination,
And it was in Bologna that the first bomb exploded,
Between a party and a flatbread from the outskirts,
Bomb or not bomb, we will get to Rome - despite you.
In Sasso Marconi, we met a girl,
Who lived lying on the edge of a square,
We told her come, sweet Sara, the road will be nice,
She plucked the flower and then said to us: no,
But bomb or not bomb, we will get to Rome - despite you.
In Roncobilaccio, an old man came to meet us,
With a deep look and a handkerchief around his neck,
He told us boys, in Campana they won't let you go,
They've called the mounted police,
But bomb or not bomb, we will get to Rome - despite you.
In Florence, we slept at an intellectual's place,
The right face and everything else,
He said no comrades, friends, I disapprove of the step,
The analysis is missing and I don't have the helmet,
But bomb or not bomb, we will get to Rome - despite you.
In Orvieto, there was the apotheosis,
The mayor, the band, and flags in hand,
They told us the highway is blocked,
But make it clear that we, we are all with you,
But bomb or not bomb, we will get to Rome - despite us.
