(Eugenio Finardi)
C'era un tipo che viveva in un abbaino
per avere il cielo sempre vicino
voleva passare sulla vita come un aeroplano
perché a lui non importava niente
di quello che faceva la gente
solo una cosa per lui era importante
e si esercitava continuamente
per sviluppare quel talento latente
che è nascosto tra le pieghe della mente
e la notte sdraiato sul letto, guardando le stelle
dalla finestra nel tetto con un messaggio
voleva prendere contatto, diceva:
"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio una stella che sia tutta mia
extraterrestre vienimi a cercare
voglio un pianeta su cui ricominciare
Una notte il suo messaggio fu ricevuto
ed in un istante é stato trasportato
senza dolore su un pianeta sconosciuto
il cielo un po' più viola del normale
un po' più caldo il sole, ma nell'aria un buon sapore
terra da esplorare, e dopo la terra il mare
un pianeta intero con cui giocare
e lentamente la consapevolezza
mista ad una dolce sicurezza
"l'universo é la mia fortezza!"
"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio una stella che sia tutta mia
extraterrestre vienimi a pigliare
voglio un pianeta su cui ricominciare!"
Ma dopo un po' di tempo la sua sicurezza
comincia a dare segni di incertezza
si sente crescere dentro l'amarezza
perché adesso che il suo scopo é stato realizzato
si sente ancora vuoto
si accorge che in lui niente é cambiato
che le sue paure non se ne sono andate
anzi che semmai sono aumentate
dalla solitudine amplificate
e adesso passa la vita a cercare
ancora di comunicare
con qualcuno che lo possa far tornare, dice:
"Extraterrestre portami via
voglio tornare indietro a casa mia
extraterrestre vienimi a cercare
voglio tornare per ricominciare!
Extraterrestre portami via
voglio tornare indietro a casa mia
extraterrestre non mi abbandonare
voglio tornare per ricominciare!"
Eugenio Finardi (born July 16, 1952) is an Italian singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. Considered one of the pillars of Italian music in the 1970s and 1980s, Finardi has managed to combine catchy melodies with introspective and often committed lyrics. His career developed between progressive rock, songwriting and electronics, influencing generations of musicians. Among his most famous songs are "My Band Plays Pop", "I'm Not Afraid", "There's Nothing to Do" and "Without a Reason". Finardi has collaborated with artists such as Francesco De Gregori, Lucio Dalla and Roberto Vecchioni, contributing to defining the Italian musical identity of that period.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
