The North Wind
Invent whatever you want
To make us laugh a bit,
Just make it up
And tell us, tell us what it is.
What I'm about to say now
To make you laugh a bit
Is not made up but
It's the truth.
Since the day is no longer day,
Since the sun is no longer sun,
Since the dawn became strange,
I've lost the north wind.
Since the wind whispered to me
That she's out there with a tank,
Since I saw her playing tough,
I've lost the north wind.
I lost it following her.
And now what will you say
To make us laugh a bit,
What will you make up,
Tell us, tell us what it is.
What I'm about to say now
To make you laugh a bit
Is not made up but
It's the truth.
Since Eve ate the apple
She's caused some big trouble,
But if she had waited a week
She wouldn't have lost the north wind.
Instead, here I am suffering,
Here I am fighting between good and evil
And for the thread of that wool
I've lost the north wind.
I lost it following her.
And now what will you say
To make us laugh a bit,
What will you make up,
Tell us, tell us what it is.
What I'm about to say now
To make you laugh a bit
Is not made up but
It's the truth.
If you really make fun of me,
I know all your women
And it's not certain that for Giuliana
I won't lose the north wind.
I like them dark, I like them blonde,
I like all the women in the world
And for the lace of a petticoat
I always lose the north wind.
I lost it and I will lose it.
I like them dark, I like them blonde,
I like all the women in the world
And for the lace of a petticoat
I always lose the north wind.
I lost it and I will lose it.
