Eros Ramazzotti, Piero Cassano - Eros Ramazzotti, Adelio Cogliati
(unofficial english version)
GUIDO DRIVES A YELLOW TAXI
IN THE METROPOLITAN TRAFFIC
HE TAKES IN CIRCULATION MONEY AND
OBJECTS OF EVERY HUMAN ORIGIN
HE KNOWS THE ACROBATICS
AS GOOD AS THE STREETS
HE OFTEN DREAMS TO FLY
HE SEES MANY PEOPLE LANDING
AT THE AIRPORT OF HIS CITY...
GUIDO TELLS SHORT AND
EVERY-DAY STORIES
TO HIS CLIENTS
ONE TIME A WOMAN DID NOT
HAVE ANYTHING TO PAY WITH
THERE ARE SO MANY LIFES AND
ACROBATICS THAT CROSS LIKE STREETS
THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT
FORGETS SOMETHING IN A HURRY
BUT SOMEBODY ELSE ALREADY CALLS
FOR ANOTHER RIDE...
AND HE STILL HOPES
TO FLY AWAY A DAY
TO LEAD HIS LIVE TO
ADVENTURE IN EVERY SENSE
WITHOUT ADDRESSES,
WITHOUT PEOPLE SAYING
”PLEASE STOP HERE”
AND HE STILL HOPES
TO FLY AWAY FROM THESE
STREETS THAT ARE TOO NARROW
AND THAT FRIGTHEN
BEHIND THIS DARKNESS HE HOPES TO
FIND THE ANGEL OF THE CANAL (VENICE)
STANDING WITH OPEN ARMS
GUIDO HOLDS A GUN EVEN IF HE
DOESN’T KNOW AND WANT TO USE IT
CERTAIN QUARTERS ARE OPEN
BATTLE FIELDS AT THIS HOUR
THERE ARE MANY TRICKS AND
ACROBATICS THAT HE HAS LEARNED
AS WELL AS THE STREETS
AND WHAT MATTERS IS TO STAY AWAKE
IT’S NOT TIME YET TO GO HOME
EVERY HOUR IS PEAK-HOUR NOWADAYS
AND HE STILL HOPES
TO FLY AWAY FROM THESE
STREETS THAT ARE TOO NARROW
AND THAT FRIGTHEN
BEHIND THIS DARKNESS HE HOPES TO
FIND THE ANGEL OF RIO
STANDING WITH OPEN ARMS
