L'uso dell'amore - Angelo Branduardi

Il bruco non ce l’ha

La mela non ce l’ha

Il ramo non ce l’ha

E l’albero non ce l’ha

La cassetta non ce l’ha

Piena di mele non ce l’ha

Ed anche il camion non ce l’ha

L’uso dell’amore

L’amo non ce l’ho

Il suughero non ce l’ha

Lo lenza non ce l’ha

La canna non ce l’ha

Il cestino non ce l’ha

Pieno di pesci non ce l’ha

E anche il fiume non ce l’ha

L’uso dell’amore

Dicono che c'è

Dicono com'è

Senza dire mai

Cosa ne puoi fare

Dicono dov'è

Dicono quand'è

Mo e' un mistero in sè

L’uso dell’amore

Dicono di te dicono di me

E non sanno che

Io lo imparerò da te

Tu lo imparerai da me

La cruna non ce l’ha

E l’ago non ce l’ha

Il filo non ce l’ha

Il punto non ce l’ha

E l’abito non ce l’ha

Pieno di tasche non ce l’ha

Anche l’armadio non ce l’ha

L’uso dell’amore

Dicono che c'è

Dicono com'è

Senza dire mai

Cosa ne puoi fare

Dicono dov'è

Dicono quand'è

Mo e' un mistero in sè

L’uso dell’amore

Dicono di te dicono di me

Ora che lo so da te

Ora che lo sai da me

L’America ce l’ha

L’Africa ce l’ha

E l’Asia ce l’ha

L’Antartide ce l’ha

Atlantide ce l’ha

Se pure non l’aveva già

Tutto il mondo ha

L’uso dell’amore

The caterpillar does not have it

The apple does not have it

The branch does not have it

And the tree doesn't have it

The box does not have it

Full of apples it does not have it

And even the truck doesn't have it

The use of love

I don't have it

The suughero does not have it

The line does not have it

The barrel does not have it

The basket does not have it

Full of fish it does not have it

And the river doesn't have it either

The use of love

They say there is

They say how it is

Without ever saying

What can you do with it

They say where it is

They say when it is

Mo is a mystery in itself

The use of love

They say about you they say about me

And they don't know that

I will learn it from you

You will learn it from me

The eye does not have it

And the needle doesn't have it

There is no thread

The point does not have it

And the dress does not have it

It doesn't have pockets

Even the wardrobe does not have it

The use of love

They say there is

They say how it is

Without ever saying

What can you do with it

They say where it is

They say when it is

Mo is a mystery in itself

The use of love

They say about you they say about me

Now that I know from you

Now that you know it from me

America has it

Africa has it

And Asia has it

Antarctica has it

Atlantis has it

If she didn't already have it too

The whole world has

The use of love
