Se il vero è questo nostro tempo da dimenticare
a volte viene in mente che è meglio vivere d'amore
Avevo un gran timore di non capir più niente del sentimento umano
ma dopo poche ore avevo lei per mano
Era di primavera non mi ricordo il mese e neanche l'anno,
vidi la gioia fermarsi e farmi un cenno
Inadeguatamente mi abbandono a questa dolce sconosciuta
l'unica degna di ossessionare la mia vita.
Poi tolgo il cuore dal suo corpo tenue di fanciulla
ma per giocare come un bambino con la palla
E tu non ridere mio dolce amico
non dare ascolto alle mie stupide emozioni
e tu non ridere che in fondo il mondo
è questo assalto di dolci confusioni
Così stupita guardava il cielo il bello i criminali
ma senza impegno come fanno le piante e gli animali
Era persino troppo emozionante per chi allena il suo cuore
coi bei concerti i discorsi importanti e le letture
Si camminava casti per la strada o in riva al mare
come due innamorati della Cina Popolare
E tu non ridere mio dolce amico
non dare ascolto alle mie stupide emozioni
e tu non ridere che in fondo il mondo
è quest'assalto di dolci confusioni
In una notte calda piena di abbandono e di tremore
come si suole fare abbiamo fatto l'amore
Poi tutt'a un tratto ho visto nei suoi occhi un velo di malinconia
e stranamente senza dire niente se n'è andata via
La luce mia s'è spenta e piano piano mi sto spegnendo anch'io
ora è silenzio nirvana pace e notte... oblio
E tu non ridere mio dolce amico
non ti stupire di questa storia mai esistita
si può anche vivere senza capire
se il vero è il sogno o il resto della vita
Giorgio Gaber (pseudonym of Giorgio Gaberscik; 1937-2000) was an Italian singer-songwriter, playwright, actor, cabaret artist, guitarist and theatre director, considered one of the most important artists in Italian entertainment and music since the Second World War. Born in Milan to a family of Slovene origin, Gaber approached music at a young age, performing in Milanese venues and collaborating with some jazz musicians. In 1960 he debuted as a singer-songwriter at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Il mio nome è", achieving modest success. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Gaber established himself as one of the most original and innovative singer-songwriters on the Italian scene, characterized by committed lyrics and experimental musicality. He collaborated with various artists, including Enzo Jannacci and Gino Paoli, and participated in numerous music festivals. Among his most representative songs are "La canzone del sole", "Il mio amico", "L'uomo che non c'è" and "Non ho paura". Gaber also dedicated himself to theatre direction, staging both his own works and those of other authors. His artistic career was marked by a strong social and political commitment, expressed through his songs and theatrical performances. Giorgio Gaber died in Milan in 2000 at the age of 63.
