Suzanne - Fabrizio De André

Nel suo posto in riva al fiume

Suzanne ti ha voluto accanto

E ora ascolti andar le barche

Ora vuoi dormirle accanto

Si lo sai che lei è pazza

Ma per questo sei con lei

E ti offre il the e le arance

Che ha portato dalla Cina

E proprio mentre stai per dirle

Che non hai niente da offrirle

Lei è già sulla tua onda

E fa il fiume ti risponda

Che da sempre siete amanti

E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme

Vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente

Perchè sai che le hai toccato il corpo

Il suo corpo perfetto con la mente

E Gesù fu marinaio

Finchè camminò sull’acqua

E restò per molto tempo

A guardare solitario

Dalla sua torre di legno

E poi quando fu sicuro

Che soltanto agli annegati

Fosse dato di vederlo

Disse: Siate marinai finchè il mare vi libererà

E lui stesso fu spezzato

Ma più umano abbandonato

Nella nostra mente lui non naufragò

E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme

Vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente

Forse avrai fiducia in lui

Perchè ti ha toccato il corpo con la mente

E Suzanne ti da la mano

Ti accompagna lungo il fiume

Porta addosso stracci e piume

Presi in qualche dormitorio

Il sole scende come miele

Su di lei donna del porto

E ti indica i colori

Tra la spazzatura e i fiori

Scopri eroi tra le alghe marce

E bambini nel mattino

Che si sporgono all’amore

E si sporgeranno sempre

E Suzanne regge lo specchio

E tu vuoi viaggiarle insieme

Vuoi viaggiarle insieme ciecamente

Perchè sai che ti ha toccato il corpo

Il suo corpo perfetto con la mente

In his place by the river

Suzanne wanted you next to her

And now you listen to the boats go by

Now you want to sleep next to her

Yes you know she is crazy

But that's why you are with her

And she offers you tea and oranges

Which she brought from China

And just as you are about to tell her

That you have nothing to offer her

She is already on your wave

And let the river answer you

That you have always been lovers

And you want to travel them together

You want to travel together blindly

Because you know you touched her body

Of her Her body of her perfect of her with the mind

And Jesus was a sailor

Until she walked on the water

And she stayed for a long time

To look lonely

From its wooden tower

And then when he was sure

That only to the drowned

It was given to see him

He said: Be sailors until the sea frees you

And he himself was broken

But more human forsaken

In our mind he did not shipwreck

And you want to travel them together

You want to travel together blindly

Maybe you will trust him

Because he touched your body with your mind

And Suzanne gives you her hand

She accompanies you along the river

She is wearing rags and feathers

Taken in some dormitory

The sun goes down like honey

On her woman of the port

And she shows you the colors

Between the garbage and the flowers

Discover heroes among the rotten algae

And children in the morning

Who reach out to love

And they will always lean out

And Suzanne holds up the mirror

And you want to travel them together

You want to travel together blindly

Because you know she touched your body

Of her Her body of her perfect of her with the mind
