Luna Rossa
Banda Bassotti
Red Moon
On the afternoon of December 12
In Piazza del Duomo you have illuminated it
But in Via del Corso there are no lights
For the warm autumn, the municipality removed them
In Piazza Fontana, the traffic is lively
There is the farmers' market
On the bus in Milan in a few hours
The head in the raised coat collar
Everything must be done very quickly
Because the bank is closing its branches
Oh how everything flies so quickly
Savings and people all so quickly
No, no, no, you can't sleep anymore
The moon is red and red with violence
You have to cry dreams to understand
That the only bourgeois justice has died
December descends over the evening
Over the people talking about Christmas
If this life will have a future
I will put a house, it can also go
People say that in Piazza Fontana
Maybe a boiler exploded
There in the square 16 dead
Blessed by a cardinal
No, no, no, you can't sleep anymore
The moon is red and red with violence
You have to cry and dream to understand
That the only bourgeois justice has died
Nights of blood and terror
Descend into the valley on my country
Who will pay for the innocent victims?
Who will give life to Pinelli, the railway worker?
Yesterday I dreamed of my boss
At a confidential meeting
They all took off their hats
Before making this slaughter
No, no, no, you can't sleep anymore
The moon is red and red with violence
You have to cry and dream to understand
That the only bourgeois justice has died
On the mountain of our martyrs
Swearing on Gramsci and Matteotti
On the worker who fell on the construction site
On all the comrades buried in prison
Like an old man, fascism descends
Sucking the life out of every youth
But don't you hear the cry on the barricade?
The working class continues its struggle!
No, no, no, you can't sleep anymore
The moon is red and red with violence
You have to cry and dream to understand
That the only bourgeois justice has died
No, no, no, you can't sleep anymore
The moon is red and red with violence
You have to cry and dream to understand
That the only bourgeois justice has died
