I vecchi del mio paese
se ne stanno seduti al bar
e ridono di quelli che vanno di corsa
duella con il disastro la gente della mia eta
e tutto è una prova di forza
le storie d’amore prendono pieghe improbabili
le strade a volte si perdono
la vita si incasina
si complica la trama
e poi arriva un arbitro che fischia.
Ma poi come si fa a credere che il cielo
basti da riparo
solo chi lo sa
sperimenterà che è così davvero
il cielo è il tetto più sicuro
il cielo sarà il nostro riparo.
I vecchi del mio paese
se ne stanno seduti al bar
e ridono di quelli che vanno di fretta
si dicono che si sa che poi arriveranno qua
c’è già pronto qui sul tavolo il solito mazzo di carte
lo sai che cosa penso amore
che tutto c’è un suo valore
anche un fiocco di neve
che cade sul naso di un cane
la vita ci cambierà qualcosa ci insegnerà
vedrai che poi impareremo a volerci bene.
Ma poi come si fa
a credere che il cielo
basti da riparo
solo chi lo sa
sperimenterà che è così sul serio
il cielo è il tetto più sicuro
il cielo sarà il nostro riparo.
Ci lascia la nostalgia
il tempo che scappa via
e i panni ad asciugare sul filo
per questo la vita
per quanto ferita
la strappo, la sporco, la vivo
l’aggiusto, la butto, la vivo
la odio, l’adoro, la vivo.
Ma poi come si fa
a credere che il cielo
basti da riparo
ma solo chi lo sa
sperimenterà che è così davvero
il cielo è il tetto più sicuro
il cielo sarà il nostro riparo
il cielo sarà il nostro riparo
riparo, riparo, sipario.
Jovanotti, real name Lorenzo Cherubini (Rome, September 27, 1966), is an Italian singer-songwriter considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary Italian music. His career began in the 1980s, launched by Claudio Cecchetto, and was characterized by a blend of rap and world music, always interpreted in an hip hop and funky style. Over the years, Jovanotti has progressively evolved his musical style, moving closer to the Italian songwriting tradition with lyrics that address philosophical, religious, and political themes. Alongside his musical career, Jovanotti has distinguished himself for his strong social and political commitment. A convinced pacifist, he has collaborated with organizations such as Emergency, Amnesty International, the Anti-Vivisection League (LAV), Nigrizia, and Data. He participated in demonstrations against public debt in the 1990s and in the movements No Excuses and Make Poverty History, taking part in Live8. Among his most representative songs are "My Girl", "Without Fear", "The Postman", "Boy of the Sea" and "The Essential".
