Orphan - LA STRADA

Wake up you silly

Shake your sleepy head

Your father’s brewing coffee

Now pull yourself out of bed

You are not an orphan.

You are not a bedraggled street urchin.

It’s a strange operation

but you’ll see it through

The hangman

is waiting at your door

You push him aside

you won’t listen anymore

You are not an orphan.

You are not a bedraggled street urchin.

It’s a strange operation

but you’ll take the time to see it through
