lyrics

7. La casa del ponte

Il racconto di mio padre
è un pasto di carne cruda,
assai popolato
a inquadratura larga,
verde e affollato
come un povero "Padrino",
ha l’odore del mosto rinsecchito.

Sul porto pescatori con le facce di assassini
pranzi babelici dai toni contadini
e Il sapore nero, agrodolce della volpe
e i proiettili di ferro tra quelle carni dolci.

Il racconto di mio padre, è bruno come il bronzo
i cartoni parlano ai bimbi, le pitture ai morti
è il linguaggio a toni forti, chiari e vivi
è la voglia di urlare per parlare ai sordi.

Migrano gli stili e si agitano le ombre
nelle sere della casa del ponte
noi, un'assemblea da meridione preistorico
senza preoccuparci dei rintocchi dell'Europa.

Spero di avere ancora tante notti da abbracciarti
e se non dovessi farlo più
sappi che non sono mai partito,
non sono mai partito, no
non sono mai partito, no


Dai tramonti porpora
sognavamo in due
il gusto dolce della volpe
che mai potremmo assaporare

e i canti rossi
come ziti,
i canti rotti
come ziti
