Nella notte elettrica
l'Asia ha mille suoni
chiudi il passaporto e poi
sei nelle sue mani.
L'aria sa di nafta e temporali
spiriti nel vento e grattacieli
io come un bambino
arrivato da lontano
sono qui toccare un sogno
ma che strano
sembra solo una città.
Portami alle stanze di Saigon
nei tramonti d'oppio sul Mekong
fammi tirare a sorte
sotto la luna di bambù e di lampi
per la ragazza dagli occhi d'oro
e una carta d'imbarco per scappare via.
Asia non Asia nella notte elettrica
Asia non Asia cambia e chiama America
nasce e muore come noi
e fan l'amore come noi
si domandano nel domani
e si scambiano violenza ed allegria.
L'Asia dei computers e dei gong
dell'alba di Hiroshima e dei Vietcong
io la sto toccando
respirando il suo respiro
con la fretta di un primo amore
dietro l'ultima tigre e l'ultimo metrò.
Asia non Asia dentro un taxi rapido
Asia non Asia antenne sull'oceano
un'ultima fotografia
e l'Asia mi rimanda via
non le ho visto il cuore
dietro il loro sorriso dove non si va.
In frontiera vegliano
piccoli ufficiali
per i loro occhi noi
siamo tutti uguali.
Pooh are an Italian pop rock band formed in Bologna in 1966. Considered the most active musical group in Italy, with over 53 years of career, the original formation of five members has undergone several changes over the years. Their greatest success came in the 1970s and 1980s with the stable lineup consisting of Roby Facchinetti (keyboards), Dodi Battaglia (guitar), Red Canzian (bass) and Stefano D'Orazio, culminating in their victory at the 40th Sanremo Music Festival in 1978 with the song "Tanti auguri". Their repertoire ranges from the beat of their beginnings to influences of pop and progressive rock. Among their most famous songs are "Uomo di fumo", "Ciao amore ciao", "Un'emozione da poco" and "La mia banda suona il rock". Pooh have released numerous albums, including "Parla con me" (1973), "Il libro dei Pooh" (1975) and "L'amore è un gioco pericoloso" (1980).
