Io non mi sento Italiano

Giorgio Gaber Giorgio Gaber

I do not feel Italian

Spoken: I GG was born and live in Milan
I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

Excuse me President
It's not my fault
But this is our homeland
I don't know what it is
Maybe I'm wrong
That's a nice idea
But I fear it becomes
A bad poem
Excuse me President
I don't feel much need
Of the national anthem
Which I'm a little ashamed of
As for the players
I don't want to judge
Our people don't know
Or they have more modesty

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

Excuse me President
If I get to the point of impudence
To say that I don't feel
No affiliation
And except Garibaldi
And other glorious heroes
I don't see any reason
To be proud
Excuse me President
But fanaticism is on my mind
Some black shirts
At the time of fascism
From which one fine day was born
This democracy
Than to compliment her
It takes imagination

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

This beautiful country
Full of poetry
He has many demands
But in our Western world
It's the suburbs

Excuse me President
But this state of ours
Which you represent
It seems a little broken to me
It's also too clear
In the eyes of the people
That everything is calculated
And nothing works
Maybe it's the Italians
By long tradition
They are too passionate
Of every discussion
Even in parliament
There is an incandescent air
They fight over everything
And then nothing changes

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

Excuse me President
You have to agree
That the limits we have
We have to tell each other
But defeatism aside
We are what we are
And we also have a past
Let's not forget
Excuse me President
But maybe we Italians
For others we are alone
Spaghetti and mandolins
So I'm getting pissed off here
I am proud and proud of it
I hit his face
What is the Renaissance

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

This beautiful country
Maybe it's unwise
He has confused ideas
But what if I had been born in other places
It could have been worse

Excuse me President
I've said a lot by now
There is another observation
Which I think is important
Respect to foreigners
We believe it less
But maybe we understand
That the world is a theater
Excuse me President
I know you're not happy
If the cry "Italy, Italy"
He's only there at the games
But a little so as not to die
Or maybe a bit in jest
We have made Europe
We also do Italy

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately they are

I do not feel Italian
But fortunately or unfortunately
Fortunately or unfortunately
Fortunately
Luckily I am
