L'italiano [English translation]

Allow me all to sing

with the guitar in hand

Allow me all to sing

I am an Italian

Good morning Italy spaghetti al dente1

and a partisan as president2

with the car stereo always in the right hand3

and a canary on the window

Good morning Italy with your artists

with too much America on poster ads

with the songs with love

with the heart

with more women always less (religious) sisters

Good morning Italy

good morning Mary

with eyes filled with melancholy

good morning God

you know that I'm here as well

Allow me all to sing

with the guitar in hand

Allow me all to sing

one song slowly slowly

Allow me all to sing

because I am proud of it

I am an Italian

a true Italian

Good morning Italy that doesn't fear4

and with the mint-scented shaving cream

with the suit that is pin-striped on blue

and the moviola5 on Sunday on TV

Good morning Italy with short espresso (coffee)

the new socks in the top drawer

with the flag at the dry cleaner's

and a 6006 with a down-looking body

Good morning Italy

good morning Mary

with eyes filled with melancholy

good morning God

you know that I'm here as well

Allow me all to sing

with the guitar in hand

Allow me all to sing

one song slowly slowly

Allow me all to sing

because I am proud of it

I am an Italian

a true Italian
