Franco Battiato frammenti

Select language to translate this lyric

The old women with brooms chase the bad boys down the street
The local telegraphs send incomprehensible signals
The little girl comes from the countryside at sunset
What a great convenience the secretaries who talk multiple languages
And what happiness the illuminated sign gives us when
We are looking for petrol and must feel embarrassed
A policeman in uniform on the first day of work
I was going out one morning to glean when
I saw a boat in the middle of the sea the cypress trees that in Bolgheri were tall and straight
They went from San Guido in double rows they saw
A starling mare brought him back that does not return
The woman opened without resistance her eyes accustomed to taking eye drops
Have you ever seen in Borgopanigale an aurora similar to the borealis
Because beautiful girl from Padua you want to have a common already ¹ in Tuscany?
From the top of the ancient tower solitary sparrow to the countryside
Singing you go until the day dies
