Mandaci una cartolina [English translation]

Between every day you could leave

Why you thought right on Monday.

Birds sing, summer is upon us

sea ​​time and lemon slush.

Who knows what end sarcasm of author

You would have unlined without beating around the bush..

Long live Italy, football, testosterone,

the mess-ups and whores in the grip of the hormone

we like television very much

just the object - I say - exhibited in the living room

who knows what bitter consideration

you would have conceived by virtue of modesty.

Send us a postcard and a happy photo of you

Sunbathe on the beach

With the usual white shirt

And the newspaper opened on the sports page

While you're on the water's edge

Blessed in the arms of a sunset.

Between all the days you could die

Because you thought right on Monday

Chaotic roads and quarrels at intersections

How many peasants on obscene vehicles

Who knows what end sarcasm of author

You would have unsheathed on this sad occasion.

Send us a postcard and a happy photo of you

Sunbathe on the beach

With the usual white shirt

And the newspaper opened on the sports page

As you stand on the water's edge, humming a romantic song.

Send us a postcard and a happy photo of you

Sunbathe on the beach

With the usual white shirt.

Send us a postcard and a happy photo of you

While you're on the water's edge

And seize the new day with amazement.
