A Pittima
Fabrizio De André
A Little Victim
What can I do, what can I do
if I don't have the strength to make a move
if deep down I don't have the guts to fight
and I've got a punch that hits like a cloud
I've got a wide cap on my head
just to hide myself with the clothes of a kid
and I go down looking for coins
from those who keep them and have lent them
and I ask them shyly but in the middle of the crowd
and to those who don't want to give me a reason
that for the sake of being different against the norm
I send a message that life is tough but it's a good deal
I'm just a little victim respected
and I don't go around telling
that when the victim is in distress it hurts like hell.
