Original text with translation
Francesco Guccini
Genova, schiacciata sul mare, sembra cercare
Respiro al largo, verso l’orizzonte.
Genova, repubblicana di cuore, vento di sale,
D’anima forte.
Genova che si perde in centro nei labirintici vecchi carrugi,
Parole antiche e nuove sparate a colpi come da archibugi.
Genova, quella giornata di luglio, d’un caldo torrido
D’Africa nera.
Sfera di sole a piombo, rombo di gente, tesa atmosfera.
Nera o blu l’uniforme, precisi gli ordini, sudore e rabbia
Genoa, flattened by the sea, seems to be looking for
I breathe offshore, towards the horizon.
Genoa, republican at heart, wind of salt,
Strong soul.
Genoa that is lost in the center in the labyrinthine old alleys,
Old and new words shot as if by arquebuses.
Genoa, that July day, in a scorching heat
Of black Africa.
Leaded sphere of sun, roar of people, tense atmosphere.
The uniform is black or blue, precise orders, sweat and anger
