Son morto nel Katanga
venivo da Lucera
avevo quarant'anni e la fedina nera
Di me la gente dice
ch'ero coi mercenari
soltanto per bottino
soltanto per denari
Ma ora che sono steso
guardate nel mio sacco
c'è solo una bottiglia
e un'oncia di tabacco
Invano cercherete
soldi nel tascapane
li ho spesi proprio tutti
assieme alle puttane
Evviva la morte mia
evviva la gioventù
lai lalalalala
lai, lalalala
Amavo un'entraîneuse
di razza congolese
però l'ho perduta a dadi
con Jimmy, l'irlandese
Salvai monache e frati
dal rogo del ribelle
ma l'ONU se ne frega,
se brucia la mia pelle
Se la mia pelle brucia
è perché son mercenario
ma il papa se ne frega
e sgrana il suo rosario
Evviva la morte mia
evviva la gioventù
lai lalalalala
lai, lalalala
Addio amiche mie
dai fiori nei capelli
addio dolci compagne
trovate nei bordelli
addio verdi colline
ormai scende la notte
i fuochi sono spenti
addio dolci mignotte
con le vostre guepières
ho fatto una bandiera
portatela agli amici
che invecchiano a Lucera
Evviva la morte mia
evviva la gioventù
lai lalalalala
lai, lalalala
Se rimanevo a casa
là nella mia Lucera
ora sarei arrivato
coi figli e la pancera
avrei la moglie grassa
le rate e la seicento
salotto, televisione,
mutua e doppio mento
Invece sono andato
in giro per il mondo
e adesso sto crepando
quaggiù nel basso Congo
Evviva la morte mia
evviva la gioventù
lai lalalalala
lai, lalalala
