Buona fortuna a te povero cuore vinto
che nella vita ne hai preso di freddo e quante volte hai pianto
buona fortuna a te zattera in mezzo al mare
che hai perso tutto ma t'è rimasta la voglia di cantare
buona fortuna a te e alle tue morbide piume
di uccello giovane che vola sul mondo senza sapere come
buona fortuna te albero del deserto
che tante volte t'han reciso i rami ma non sei mai morto
io c'ho un sorriso buffo ed un silenzio per ogni occasione
che taglia come una lama affilata
disintegra ogni illusione
io c'ho un rifugio segreto che apro solo agli amici
e lascio fuori i falsi profeti per non sentirne le voci
buona fortuna a te...
Buona fortuna a te madre mia benedetta
con e tue gambe fili di cotone di strada ne hai fatta
buona fortuna a te speranza mai sopita
che non si sa come andrà a finire ma ti giochi la partita
buona fortuna a te anima canterina
che questa notte è ancora buio pesto ma verrà mattina
buona fortuna a te stella del firmamento
alle tue mani ai tuoi occhi di smeraldo che non li spenga il tempo
io c'ho una spada e un fiore
conosco i trucchi del giocoliere
li uso quando ne ho bisogno e non ho niente da temere
io c'ho un giardino di arance e mele
terrazze a picco sull'imbrunire
e paradisi da coltivare
buona memoria per non dimenticare
buona fortuna a te, poeta maledetto
che non si fermi il fiume sulle rive dell'oltraggio
che non si fermi il tempo sul timore di un presagio.
