Text Musica Legerissima Colapesce Dimartino
If it were an orchestra to speak for us
It would be easier to say goodbye
Becoming an adult would be a crescendo
Of violins and trouble
The drums announce a thunderstorm
The master has gone away
Put on some light music
Because I want nothing
Indeed very light
Words without mystery
Cheerful but not too much
Put on some light music
In the deafening silence
In order not to fall into the black hole
Which is one step away from us, from us
More or less
If a concert were enough to give birth to a flower
Among the buildings destroyed by enemy bombs
In the name of a God
That doesn’t come out with the storm
The master has gone away
Put on some light music
Because I want nothing
Indeed very light
Words without mystery
Cheerful but not too much
Put on some light music
In the deafening silence
In order not to fall into the black hole
Which is one step away from us, from us
More or less
It remains in the background
Inside the supermarkets
The soldiers sing it
The alcoholic children
The progressive priests
You hear it in the neighborhoods
Sunny
That thunders lightly
It lurks in thoughts
In the gym
He’s holding a party
Even shit
You think back to your life
To the things you left behind
Fall into space
Of your indifference
Animal
Put on some light music
Because I want nothing
Indeed very light
Words without mystery
Cheerful but not too much
Put on some light music
In the deafening silence
In order not to fall into the black hole
Which is one step away from us, from us
More or less
