I tre miti - Nomadi

Quelli che son stati adolescenti insieme a me,

e di anni ne hanno almeno trentratr,

avevano tre miti nel settanta o gi№ di l¬:

il sesso, il socialismo ed il GT.

Magari la ragazza c’era chi l’aveva gi

ma sogni rosa e petting a met.

Il sesso quello vero era tutt’altro era lontano,

Hugh Heffner o la storia di un mio amico.

Ma poi poco alla volta ce lo siamo conquistato,

i tab№ infranti c' chi si sposato.

Lavoro, figli, alcuni divorzio infine libert

ma ormai fuori dal mito e fuori et.

E ritorniamo indietro a quei vent’anni o gi№ di l¬,

vediamo la faccenda del GT.

Io fortunato ci son stato sopra a quell’et

perch ad un mio amico lo comprІ pap.

E dopo tanti anni ce l’ho avuto pure io,

un GT vero proprio tutto mio.

Magari certo usato ed anche arrugginito

e soprattutto ormai fuori dal mito.

E c' chi tra di noi ha abbandonato l’avventura

per noia, opportunismo o per paura.

E chi non l’abbandona ma non capisce cosa sia

per troppa fede o per poca ironia.

E c' chi come me, tra sessantotto e masochismo,

ancora l¬ che aspetta il socialismo.

Arriver stiam certi, sar euro- o dal volto umano,

speriamo che non sia di seconda mano.

Those who were adolescents with me,

and they are at least thirty-three years old,

they had three myths in the seventies or so:

sex, socialism and GT.

Maybe there was someone who already had her

but pink dreams and half petting.

Sex, the real one was quite different, it was far away,

Hugh Heffner or the story of a friend of mine.

But then little by little we conquered it,

there are those who have broken the tabrules.

Work, children, some divorce and finally freedom

but now out of the myth and out of age.

And let's go back to those twenty years or so,

let's see the GT thing.

I was lucky I was on it at that age

because a friend of mine bought it from dad.

And after so many years I've had it too,

a real GT of my own.

Maybe some used and even rusty

and above all now out of the myth.

And there are those among us who have abandoned the adventure

out of boredom, opportunism or fear.

And who does not abandon it but does not understand what it is

for too much faith or for little irony.

And there are those like me, between sixty-eight and masochism,

still there waiting for socialism.

We are sure it will arrive, it will be euro- or with a human face,

we hope it is not second hand.
