Piccola canzone dei contrari - Angelo Branduardi

C’e`un posto bianco e un posto nero chiss dov'

per ogni volo di pensiero dentro di te

c' un posto alto e un posto basso chiss dov'

per un violino e un contrabbasso dentro di te

e un posto dove ci son io

C' un posto uovo e uno gallina chiss dov'

se non sai chi sia nato prima dentro di te

c' un posto in pace e un posto in guerra chiss dov'

in piedi o tutti gi per terra dentro di te

e un posto dove ci son io che cerco un posto tutto mio l di fianco a te.

C' un posto vino e un posto pane chiss dov'

per quando hai sete oppure hai fame dentro di te

c' un posto verde e un posto rosso chiss dov'

per quel che resta o quel che passa dentro di te

c' un posto vero e uno bugiardo chiss dov'

per quando va la gatta al lardo dentro di te

e un posto dove ci son io.

C' un posto tutto e un posto nulla chiss dov'

per una donna e una fanciulla dentro di te

c' un posto bello e un posto brutto chiss dov'

non sempre si pu avere tutto dentro di te

c' un posto fermo e uno animato chiss dov'

per come il mondo disegnato dentro di te

e un posto dove ci son io che cerco un posto tutto mio l di fianco a te.

There is a white place and a black place who knows where

for every flight of thought within you

there is a high place and a low place who knows where

for a violin and a double bass inside you

and a place where I am

There is an egg and a hen place who knows where

if you don't know who was born inside you first

there is a place in peace and a place in war who knows where

on your feet or all down on the ground inside you

and a place where I am looking for a place of my own there next to you.

There is a place for wine and a place for bread who knows where

for when you are thirsty or hungry inside you

there is a green place and a red place who knows where

for what remains or what passes inside you

there is a real place and a liar who knows where

for when the cat goes to the lard inside you

and a place where I am.

There is a place for everything and a place for nothing, who knows where

for a woman and a girl inside you

there is a beautiful place and an ugly place who knows where

you can't always have it all inside you

there is a stationary place and an animated one who knows where

for how the world drawn inside of you

and a place where I am looking for a place of my own there next to you.
