Chiedi Chi Erano I Beatles (feat. Gianni Morandi)

If you want to feel time flying on your forehead,
In a March of fire dust
And how today's grandfather was yesterday's boy
If you want to listen not just for fun to the step of a thousand thoughts
Ask who the Beatles were
Ask who the Beatles were

If you want to feel the day running far on your arm,
And how a hemp rope was pulled
Or how the fog nailed between shorter days
If you want to touch with your finger the heart of the last snows
Ask who the Beatles were
Ask who the Beatles were

Ask a 15-year-old girl,
Ask who the Beatles were, she will answer you,
The pretty girl with her polite look,
Glasses and with her voice,
But who were these Beatles, she will answer you:
I don't know the Beatles, I don't even know the world,
Yes, I know Hiroshima but I know very little else, I know very little
My father said Europe was burning in fire,
We still have to learn, we were born yesterday, we were born yesterday
After the August holidays, I don't remember the sea anymore,
I don't remember the music, I struggle to explain things
And to stay calm, I take the last poses with my grandmother
But who were these Beatles
But who were these Beatles

You who played them on record players and shouted,
You who waited for them and listened, burned and then forgot
You must teach us with all things not just in words
But who were these Beatles
But who were these Beatles

Because the rain that falls is soon dried by the sun
A river flows on a leather couch
But who were these Beatles
At night I dream of cities that never end
I hear many voices singing and down there people respond
I swim among waves of sun and walk in the sky of the sea
But who were these Beatles
But who were these Beatles
