Bomba O Non Bomba - Antonello Venditti

Partirono in due ed erano abbastanza

Un pianoforte e una chitarra e molta fantasia.

E fu a Bologna che scoppio` la prima bomba,

Tra una fasta e una piadina di periferia.

E bomba o non bomba, noi, arriveremo a Roma malgrado voi.

A Sasso Marconi incontrammo una ragazza

Che viveva sdraiata sull’orlo di una piazza.

Noi le dicemmo vieni dolce sara` la strada

Lei sfoglio` il fiore e poi ci disse no.

Ma bomba o non bomba, noi, arriveremo a Roma malgrado voi.

A Roncobilaccio ci venne incontro un vecchio

Lo sguardo profondo e un fazzoletto al collo

Ci disse ragazzi in campana qui non vi lasceranno andare

Hanno chiamato la polizia a cavallo

Ma bomba o non bomba, noi, arriveremo a Roma malgrado voi.

A Firenze dormimmo da un intellettuale

La faccia giusta e tutto quanto il resto

Ci disse no compagni, amici, io disapprovo il passo

Manca l’analisi e poi non ci ho l’elmetto

Ma bomba o non bomba, noi, arriveremo a Roma malgrado te.

A Orvieto poi ci fu l’apoteosi

Il sindaco, la banda e le bandiere in mano

Ci dissero l’autostrada e` bloccata e non vi lasceranno passare

Ma sia ben chiaro che noi, noi siamo tutti con voi

E bomba o non bomba, voi, arriverete a Roma malgrado noi.

Parlamentammo a lungo e poi ci fu un discorso

Il capitano disse va bene e cosi` sia

E la fanfara poi intono` le prime note

E ci trovammo proprio in faccia a Porta Pia

E bomba o non bomba, noi, arriveremo a Roma malgrado voi.

La gente ci amava e questo e` l’importante

Regalammo cioccolata e sigarette vere

Bevemmo poi del vino rosso dalle mani unite

E finalmente ci fecero suonare

E bomba su bomba, noi siamo arrivati a Roma insieme a voi.

Two of them left and that was enough

A piano and a guitar and a lot of imagination.

And it was in Bologna that the first bomb exploded,

Between a fasta and a suburban piadina.

And bomb or not bomb, we will arrive in Rome in spite of you.

In Sasso Marconi we met a girl

She who she lived lying on the edge of a square.

We told her come sweet will be the road

She leafed through the flower and then she told us no.

But bomb or not bomb, we will arrive in Rome in spite of you.

An old man came to meet us in Roncobilaccio

The deep gaze and a handkerchief around his neck

He told us bell boys here won't let you go

They called the mounted police

But bomb or not bomb, we will arrive in Rome in spite of you.

In Florence we slept with an intellectual

The right face and all that

He said no comrades, friends, I disapprove of the step

The analysis is missing and then I don't have a helmet

But bomb or not bomb, we will arrive in Rome in spite of you.

Then there was the apotheosis in Orvieto

The mayor, the band and the flags in hand

They told us the highway is blocked and they will not let you pass

But let it be clear that we, we are all with you

And bomb or not bomb, you, you will arrive in Rome in spite of us.

We talked for a long time and then there was a speech

The captain said okay and so be it

And the fanfare then intoned the first notes

And we found ourselves right in front of Porta Pia

And bomb or not bomb, we will arrive in Rome in spite of you.

People loved us and this is the important thing

We gave away chocolate and real cigarettes

We then drank red wine from joined hands

And finally they made us play

And bomb after bomb, we arrived in Rome with you.
