Running through Buenos Aires
All day the trolley buses pass
And the armored cars pass
With the handcuffed prisoners
That look and don't see
Povero Fogagnolo, who was not a movie actor
Presents himself, gives you an occasion
Whispers the last and first names
From a list of the victims
And it has given me a gift
A tram ticket
To go back to the Loreto Piazza
Esposito in the gardens
Is reading the economics news
And he sees its thousand benches
Or in the tail of an endless line
He asks for justice, and at once
They gave to Poletti
Seven letters on a headstone
And the people that pass and see them
Do their sums, and then ask
Isn't it a useless purchase?
It's not worth a ticket
A tram ticket
To go back to the Loreto Piazza
