Mandaci Una Cartolina
Carmen Consoli
Send Us a Postcard
Among all the days you could have left
Why did you choose Monday?
The birds sing, summer is around the corner
Time for the sea and lemon granitas
Who knows what clever sarcasm
You would have unleashed without beating around the bush
Long live Italy, soccer, testosterone
The shady deals and the whores driven by hormones
We really like television
Especially the object - I say - displayed in the living room
Who knows what bitter reflection
You would have conceived out of modesty
Send us a postcard and a cheerful photo of you
Sunbathing on the beach
With the usual white shirt
And the newspaper open to the sports page
While you're on the shore
Blessed in the arms of a sunset
Among all the days you could have died
Why did you choose Monday?
Chaotic streets and arguments at intersections
How many jerks in obscene vehicles
Who knows what clever sarcasm
You would have displayed on this sad occasion
Send us a postcard and a cheerful photo of you
Sunbathing on the beach
With the usual white shirt
And the newspaper open to the sports page
While you're on the shore humming a romantic song
Send us a postcard and a cheerful photo of you
Sunbathing on the beach
With the usual white shirt
Send us a postcard and a cheerful photo of you
While you're on the shore
And marvel at the new day.
