Un'idea - Giorgio Gaber

Un’idea, un concetto, un’idea

finch?

resta un’idea?

soltanto un’astrazione

se potessi mangiare un’idea

avrei fatto la mia rivoluzione.

In Virginia il signor Brown

era l’uomo pi?

antirazzista

un giorno sua figlia spos?

un uomo di colore

lui disse: «Bene»

ma non era di buonumore.

Ad una conferenza

di donne femministe

si parlava di prender coscienza

e di liberazione

tutte cose giuste

per un’altra generazione.

Un’idea, un concetto, un’idea

finch?

resta un’idea?

soltanto un’astrazione

se potessi mangiare un’idea

avrei fatto la mia rivoluzione.

Su un libro di psicologia

ho imparato a educare mio figlio

se cresce libero il bimbo

?

molto pi?

contento

l’ho lasciato fare

m'?

venuto l’esaurimento.

Il mio amico voleva impostare

la famiglia in un modo nuovo

e disse alla moglie

«Se vuoi, mi puoi anche tradire».

Lei lo trad?

lui non riusciva pi?

a dormire.

Un’idea, un concetto, un’idea

finch?

resta un’idea?

soltanto un’astrazione

se potessi mangiare un’idea

avrei fatto la mia rivoluzione.

Aveva tante idee

era un uomo d’avanguardia

si vestiva di nuova cultura

cambiava ogni momento

ma quand’era nudo

era un uomo dell’Ottocento.

Ho voluto andare

ad una manifestazione

i compagni, la lotta di classe

tante cose belle

che ho nella testa

ma non ancora nella pelle.

Un’idea, un concetto, un’idea

finch?

resta un’idea?

soltanto un’astrazione

se potessi mangiare un’idea

avrei fatto la mia rivoluzione

la mia rivoluzione, la mia rivoluzione.

An idea, a concept, an idea

until

remains an idea?

only an abstraction

if I could eat an idea

I would have made my revolution.

In Virginia, Mr. Brown

he was the man more?

anti-racist

one day his daughter married?

a black man

he said, "Good"

but he wasn't in a good mood.

At a conference

of feminist women

there was talk of becoming aware

and liberation

all right things

for another generation.

An idea, a concept, an idea

until

remains an idea?

only an abstraction

if I could eat an idea

I would have made my revolution.

In a psychology book

I learned how to educate my son

if the child grows free

?

much more?

happy

I let him do it

m '?

exhaustion came.

My friend wanted to set up

the family in a new way

and he said to his wife

"If you want, you can also betray me."

She traded him?

he could not anymore?

to sleep.

An idea, a concept, an idea

until

remains an idea?

only an abstraction

if I could eat an idea

I would have made my revolution.

He had so many ideas

he was a man of the vanguard

he dressed in a new culture

he changed every moment

but when he was naked

he was a man of the nineteenth century.

I wanted to go

at a demonstration

the comrades, the class struggle

many beautiful things

that I have in my head

but not yet in the skin.

An idea, a concept, an idea

until

remains an idea?

only an abstraction

if I could eat an idea

I would have made my revolution

my revolution, my revolution.
