Agapito Malteni era un ferroviere
viveva a Manfredinia giù nel Tavoliere
buona educazione di spirito cristiano
ed un locomotore sotto mano
Di buona famiglia giovane e sposato
negli occhi si leggeva : molto complessato
faceva quel mestiere forse per l'amore
di viaggiare sul locomotore
Seppure complessato il cuore gli piangeva
quando la sua gente andarsene vedeva
perché la gente scappa ancora non capiva
Dall'alto della sua locomotiva
La gente che abbandona spesso il suo paesello
lasciando la sua falce in cambio di un martello
ricorda nei suoi occhi nel suo cuore errante
il misero guadagno di un bracciante
Una tarda sera partì da torre a mare
doveva andare a Roma e dopo ritornare
pensò di non partire o pure senza fretta
di lasciare il treno a Barletta
Svelò il suo grande piano all'altro macchinista
buono come lui ma meno utopista
parlò delle città di genti emigrate
a Gorgonzola oppure a Vimercate
E l'altro macchinista capì il suo compagno
felice e soddisfatto del proprio guadagno
e con le parole cercava di calmarlo
fu una mano ad addormentarlo
Salvatore Antonio Gaetano, known as Rino Gaetano (1950-1971), was an Italian singer-songwriter considered one of the most important figures in the Italian music scene of the 1970s. Born in Palermo, he began his musical career in the 1960s with the group "I Ragazzi di Piazza", before embarking on a solo career in 1968. His music was characterized by a blend of progressive rock, songwriting and folk influences, often accompanied by ironic and satirical lyrics that addressed social and political issues. Among his most famous songs are "Azzurro", "Mio fratello è figlio unico", "Manifesto", "Senza una donna" and "Il cielo in una stanza". Gaetano left an indelible mark on Italian music, influencing generations of artists with his originality and social commitment.
