Siamo noi a far ricca la terra
noi che sopportiamo
la malattia del sonno e la malaria
noi mandiamo al raccolto cotone, riso e grano,
noi piantiamo il mais
su tutto l'altopiano.
Noi penetriamo foreste, coltiviamo savane,
le nostre braccia arrivano
ogni giorno più lontane.
Da noi vengono i tesori alla terra carpiti,
con che poi tutti gli altri
restano favoriti.
E siamo noi a far bella la luna
con la nostra vita
coperta di stracci e di sassi di vetro.
Quella vita che gli altri ci respingono indietro
come un insulto,
come un ragno nella stanza.
Ma riprendiamola un mano, riprendiamola intera,
riprendiamoci la vita,
la terra, la luna e l'abbondanza.
E' vero che non ci capiamo
che non parliamo mai
in due la stessa lingua,
e abbiamo paura del buio e anche della luce, è vero
che abbiamo tanto da fare
e che non facciamo mai niente.
E' vero che spesso la strada ci sembra un inferno
o una voce in cui non riusciamo a stare insieme,
dove non riconosciamo mai i nostri fratelli.
E' vero che beviamo il sangue dei nostri padri,
che odiamo tutte le nostre donne
e tutti i nostri amici.
Ma ho visto anche degli zingari felici
corrersi dietro, far l'amore
e rotolarsi per terra.
Ho visto anche degli zingari felici
in Piazza Maggiore
ubriacarsi di luna, di vendetta e di guerra.
Ma ho visto anche degli zingari felici
corrersi dietro, far l'amore
e rotolarsi per terra.
Ho visto anche degli zingari felici
in Piazza Maggiore
ubriacarsi di luna, di vendetta e di guerra.
