C'è un semaforo in Paradiso
Ch'è sempre verde e non cambia mai
E accende il suo occhio giù in fondo a una lunga discesa
C'è un semaforo in Paradiso
Che se si passa si vola via
Per quanto la gente che vola non sembri sorpresa
E vanno veloci le macchine e trovano tutte la strada di casa
Al muovere lento di un soffio di vento
Che intorno pulisce ogni cosa
Non fanno nemmeno rumore
E lascian la strada com'è
Per quel semaforo in Paradiso
Ch'è sempre verde chissà perché?
C'è un semaforo in Paradiso
Ch'è sempre rosso e non cambia mai
E ferma da sempre le macchine a un dito dal suolo
C'è un semaforo in Paradiso
Che dura quanto una malattia
E invece c'è gente ch'è ferma da un attimo solo
Ed anche chi aspetta non prova mai fretta
Ed ha tempo di stare a parlare
Al muovere lento di un filo di vento
Che soffia e non sembra soffiare
È qui che non c'è quel che c'era
Ma trovi ogni cosa che c'è
A quel semaforo in Paradiso
Ch'è sempre rosso chissa perché?
C'è un semaforo sulla strada
Ch'è sempre rotto e non cambia mai
E dondola piano in un posto che sta sulla terra
C'è un semaforo sulla strada
Ch'è sempre avvolto dalla foschia
Che sembra sia calmo e di colpo diventa una guerra
Di sassi, di passi, di pazzi,
di pezzi di vetro che tagliano i piedi
e insetti feroci nell'aria che volano
e mordono quando non vedi
e a un Angelo in volo gli scappa un sorriso
per quello che ha sotto di sé
pensa al semaforo in Paradiso
e quel soffio lento di vento caldo che qui non c'è
