Acquarello / aquarela


Sopra un foglio di carta
lo vedi il sole è giallo
ma se piove due segni di biro
ti danno un'ombrello
gli alberi non son altro
che fiaschi di vino girati
se ci metti due tipi
là sotto saranno ubriachi
l'erba è sempre verde
e se vedi un punto lontano
non si scappa o è il buon Dio o è un
gabbiano e va.

Verso il mare a volare
ed il mare è tutto blu
c'è una nave a navigare
ha una vela non di più
ma sott'acqua i pesci sanno dove andare
dove gli pare non dove vuoi tu
ed il cielo sta a guardare
ed il cielo è sempre blu
c'è un aereo lassù in alto
e l'aereo scende giù
c'è chi a terra lo saluta con la mano
va piano piano fuori di un bar
chissà dove va.

Sopra un foglio di carta
lo vedi chi viaggia in un treno
sono tre buoni amici che mangiano e
parlano piano
da un'america all'altra è uno scherzo
ci vuole un secondo
basta fare un bel cerchio
ed ecco che hai tutto il mondo
un ragazzo cammina cammina
e arriva ad un muro
chiude gli occhi un momento e
davanti si vede il futuro già.

E il futuro è un'astronave
che non ha tempo ne pietà
va su Marte va dove vuole
niente mai lo sai la fermerà
se ci viene incontro non fa rumore
non chiede amore e non ne dà
continuiamo a suonare
lavorare in città
noi che abbiamo un po' paura
ma la paura passerà
siamo tutti in ballo siamo sul più
bello in un acquarello che scolorirà
che scolorirà
che scolorirà
che scolorirà
che scolorirà.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
