Dal Basso - Jovanotti, Michael Franti

C' una grandeidea che ancora non si sa un’idea che cambier questa citt che ci trasformer

e che ci far vibrare

un’idea che ancora non si pu capire non si pu vedere, ma c'

da qualche parte viene verso di te,

non negli ambienti intellettuali

non scritta sulle pagine dei giornali

non si pu comprare con i soldi che vuoi

non nelle opere dei nostri eroi

non nelle chiese, non nelle stanze

non sulle sdraio dei villaggi vacanze

non nei salotti n nei bei locali,

non nelle menti degli industriali

non nelle aule delle universit

non nei messaggi della pubblicit

non nelle leggi non in parlamento

non nelle barche a vela spinte dal vento

non in chi parla tanto di rinnovamento

non nelle ceneri di un fuoco spento

non nelle radio non in televisione

non nelle parole di questa canzone

non sopra i palchi dei centri sociali

non nella porpora dei cardinali

non nelle aule non nei cortei

non nei problemi di lui e di lei

una grande idea un’intuizione

puoi trovarla dove c' una vibrazione,

dove c' un’urgenza dove c' calore

dove c' la gioia nata dal dolore

puoi trovarla l dove c' necessit

dove un uomo lotta

per la sua libert

dove uno insegue la sua dignit

nella spazzatura di questa citt

nelle zone basse della realt

dentro le foreste della societ

negli scantinati dell’umanit

puoi trovarla l puoi trovarla l dove c' bisogno

puoi trovarla l dove pu nascere un sogno

puoi trovarla l ma non la puoi guardare

puoi trovarla l ma ti devi abbassare

puoi trovarla l ma poi devi scavare scavare scavare

tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su dal basso dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su excuse me… take a look

take a look take a look

you can look but you can never find it yo (find it)

it’s not hidden it’s there for you to see it but if you look you will never find

it yo (find it) you got to feel,

got to feel where it’s comin’from

but be alert it could come sudden like a car bomb

a heart bomb a human tickin time bomb

but listen in and look within and you will feel it in the onedrop!

not in the gun of a cop!

don’t/stop until the bass makes your body rock one love/cuz

it’s the sure shot double up two times/X hits the spot

the mystery next be revealed healin’the pain with the love

that we feel don’t need no king or no prince or no castle the power of the heartbeat thebass, dal basso

tutto nasce dal basso e poi va su…

There is a great idea that we still don't know an idea that will change this city that will transform us

and that make us vibrate

an idea that cannot yet be understood cannot be seen, but there is

somewhere it comes towards you,

not in intellectual circles

not written on the pages of newspapers

you can't buy it with the money you want

not in the works of our heroes

not in churches, not in rooms

not on the deck chairs of the holiday villages

not in the living rooms or in the beautiful clubs,

not in the minds of industrialists

not in university classrooms

not in advertising messages

not in laws not in parliament

not in wind-blown sailboats

not in those who talk so much about renewal

not in the ashes of an extinguished fire

not on radio not on television

not in the words of this song

not above the stages of social centers

not in the purple of the cardinals

not in the classrooms not in the parades

not in his and hers problems

a great idea an intuition

you can find it where there is a vibration,

where there is an urgency where there is heat

where there is the joy born of pain

you can find it where it is needed

where a man struggles

for his freedom

where one pursues his dignity

in the trash of this city

in the lower areas of reality

inside the forests of society

in the basements of humanity

you can find it there you can find it where you need it

you can find it where a dream can be born

you can find it there but you can't look at it

you can find it there but you have to get down

you can find it there but then you have to dig dig dig

everything starts from the bottom and then goes on everything comes from the bottom and then goes on everything starts from the bottom and then goes up from the bottom from the bottom and then goes on everything starts from the bottom and then goes on everything starts from the bottom and then goes on everything is born from the bottom and then goes on everything comes from the bottom and then goes on excuse me… take a look

take a look take a look

you can look but you can never find it yo (find it)

it's not hidden it's there for you to see it but if you look you will never find

it yo (find it) you got to feel,

got to feel where it's coming from

but be alert it could come sudden like a car bomb

a heart bomb a human tickin time bomb

but listen in and look within and you will feel it in the onedrop!

not in the gun of a cop!
