La Canzone Della Terra

On returning from the countryside
On returning from the countryside
First thing, I want to find
The ready-to-eat dish
And the glass to drink from
(First thing, I want to find
The ready-to-eat dish
And the glass to drink from)

On returning from the countryside
On returning from the countryside
Second thing, I want to talk
Of all the things I have to say
And someone has to listen
Second thing, I want to talk
Of all the things to say
And someone has to listen

My lady, you must listen!
My lady, you must listen!
Third thing, when I'm done
I want to go to bed soon
I want to go to bed right away
(I want to go to bed right away!)

And between the silk of your flesh
I want to wrap myself up until morning
I want to wrap myself up until morning
And a woman without any shame anymore
Impetuous filly I want to hear you
I want to hear you sweet and impetuous

Waking up in the morning
When the rooster opens my eyes
At four in the morning
First thing, sliced polenta
And in the air I want to feel
The scent of coffee with milk

Waking up in the morning
Waking up in the morning
Second thing, soap and water
Done everything very soon
Breakfast in the basket!

And then the spade, the earth and the sun
The shade of a pine tree is what we need
The shade of a pine tree is what we need
And the desire that rises upon returning
After that still removes the day
After that still removes the day
