Lyrics " Si chiamava Gesù "

Original text with translation

Si chiamava Gesù

Fabrizio De André

Original text

Venuto da molto lontano

A convertire bestie e gente

Non si può dire non sia servito a niente

Perché prese la terra per mano

Vestito di sabbia e di bianco

Alcuni lo dissero santo

Per altri ebbe meno virtù

Si faceva chiamare Gesù

Non intendo cantare la gloria

Né invocare la grazia e il perdono

Di chi penso non fu altri che un uomo

Come Dio passato alla storia

Ma inumano è pur sempre l’amore

Di chi rantola senza rancore

Perdonando con l’ultima voce

Chi lo uccide fra le braccia di una croce

E per quelli che l’ebbero odiato

Nel Getzemani pianse l’addio

Come per chi l’adorò come Dio

Che gli disse sia sempre lodato

Per chi gli portò in dono alla fine

Una lacrima o una treccia di spine

Accettando ad estremo saluto

La preghiera l’insulto e lo sputo

E morì come tutti si muore

Come tutti cambiando colore

Non si può dire che sia servito a molto

Perché il male dalla terra non fu tolto

Ebbe forse un pò troppe virtù

Ebbe un nome ed un volto: Gesù

Di Maria dicono fosse il figlio

Sulla croce sbiancò come un giglio

Song translation

Came from far away

To convert beasts and people

It cannot be said that it did not help

Because he took the earth by the hand

Dressed in sand and white

Some said he was holy

For others he had less virtue

He called himself Jesus

I don't mean to sing glory

Nor to invoke grace and forgiveness

Whom I think was none other than a man

Like God who went down in history

But love is still inhuman

Of those who gasp without rancor

Forgiving with the last voice

Who kills him in the arms of a cross

And for those who hated it

In Getzemani he wept goodbye

As for those who worshiped him as God

That he said be always praised

For those who brought him as a gift at the end

A tear or a braid of thorns

Accepting a final greeting

Prayer insult and spit

And he died like everyone dies

Like everyone changing color

It cannot be said that it did much good

Because evil from the earth was not taken away

He had perhaps a little too many virtues

He had a name and a face: Jesus

They say he was the son of Maria

On the cross he blanched like a lily
