Aveva un taxi nero


Aveva un taxi nero che andava col metano
con una riga verde allo chassis.
Di notte posteggiava nel centro di Milano
cercando di scordare il suo dolor.
Era un taxista con la madre vedova
e un fratellino biondo senza scrupoli
ladro di ruote di scorta di micromotore
che poi vendeva per fare la vita del signore.
Mentre la mamma prega nella camera
il figio suo percorre la metropoli
fonda è la notte ma c'è dei lampioni il chiarore
scoppia la mamma e piange in singhiozzi il motore.

Un dì il suo fratellastro passò con una donna
e dentro al suo tassì con lei montò
ma mentre l'auto andava lui gli rubò una gomma
fingendo di parlare dell'amor.
Era una gomma bianca molto elastica
che lui usava solo la domenica
era una gomma ma più che una gomma un ricordo
era il regalo che la mamma gli fece a Natale.
Mentre la mamma prega nella camera
ruba la gomma il figlio assai degenere
senza una gomma quel taxi faceva fatica
era in discesa eppure sembrava in salita.

Il tassista ora ha un dubbio, sospetta dell'inganno
e disperato sprona il suo motor.
Ridotto ad un triciclo il taxi si ribalta
e manda il fratellastro al creator.
Mentre la mamma prega nella camera
fuori fa freddo e come sempre nevica
scoppia la gomma e muore anche il figlio normale
per quella gomma che mamma gli diede a Natale.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
