Mio nonno è sempre mio nonno
è sempre Ambrogio in ogni momento
voglio dire che non ha problemi di comportamento.
Ma io non assomiglio ad Ambrogio
l'interezza non è il mio forte
per essere a mio agio
ho bisogno di una parte.
Per esempio, quando sto in campagna
ed accendo il fuoco nel camino
lentamente raccolgo la legna
e mi muovo come un contadino
e se in treno incontro una donna
io mi invento serio e riservato
faccio quello che parla poco
ma c'ha dietro tutto un passato.
E se mi viene bene
se la parte mi funziona
allora mi sembra di essere una persona.
Qualche volta metto il mio giaccone
grigio verde tipo guerrigliero
me lo metto e ci aggiusto il mio corpo (1)
e già che ci sono anche il mio pensiero
e se invece sto leggendo Hegel
mi concentro, sono tutto preso
non da Hegel, naturalmente
ma dal mio fascino di studioso.
E se mi viene bene
se la parte mi funziona
allora mi sembra di essere una persona.
Mio nonno si è scelto una parte
che non cambia in ogni momento
voglio dire che c'ha un solo comportamento.
Io invece ho sempre bisogno
di una nuova definizione
del resto lo fanno tutti (2)
è una tacita convenzione.
Ma da oggi ho voglia di gridare
che non sono stato mai me stesso
e dichiaro senza pudore
che io recito come un fesso.
E se mi viene bene
se la parte mi funziona
allora mi sembra di essere una persona.
Se un giorno noi cercassimo
chi siamo veramente
ho il sospetto
che non troveremmo niente.
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.
