Il tennis


‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, …

Il paese è in una fase delicata…

‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, …

…sì, in un periodo di transizione…

‘TOFF’.

‘BLIN-BLON’.
Oggi al Parlamento:
Una mozione. L’avversario si alza e mette lì la sua; una differenza… leggerissima e… ‘TA-TA-TATARATATATA-TA!"
Dopodiché tutti al tennis.

‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, …

Sì, giocano tutti al tennis… e qui mi incazzo! E sì, perché gli piacciono a tutti le stesse cose mica per altro. E i gusti sono tutto: c’è chi gioca al tennis e c’è chi gioca al calcio.
Certo la vera cortina di ferro è lì, nei gusti. Le questioni ideologiche? Roba da ridere fra gusti uguali. I gusti sono la vera sostanza politica. E loro hanno scelto il tennis.
Belli, puliti, tutti bianchi, impostati: il rovescio, bello, la volée… ma giocate al calcio deficienti! Ci cago io sulla vostra terra battuta! E’ la rivincita estetica del giocatore di calcio… tutte le notti me la sogno.
Chiudo gli occhi, un film: valle verde, meraviglioso, campi da tennis, sole… ‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, … ‘VRRRR’, un film, Boñuel regista, ‘VRRRR’. Si alza in volo un branco di mucche… ‘VRRRR’, … lui può! E su quei bellissimi ragazzi abbronzati, dalle mandibole giuste e dai denti bianchi… ‘VRRRR’, su quelle signore assolutamente belle ma così assolutamente da non arrappare nessuno… ‘VRRRR’, su quei signori eleganti e raffinati, su quelle signore da piccoli cagnolini… ‘VRRRR’, sulle Adidas, sulle magliette col coccodrillino, sugli arbitri con la "r" francese: "QuaRanta a tRenta!", ‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, "PaRità!", ‘TOFF’, ‘TOFF’, e le mucche: ‘PLAAAAAFFFFF!!!’
Parità!!!
Niente, un sogno. Tutto pulito. I miracoli non li fa neanche Boñuel.
Il tennis avanza e i coccodrillini dilagano perché è giusto espandere le cose. Così si corre con la stessa maglietta e il tennis avanza e non risparmia nessuno.
E ora in tutte le fabbriche ci sono i campi da tennis e si capisce chiaramente che è la base che ha imposto i suoi gusti, praticamente la "proletarizzazione".

"Hop, bella palla!", "Grazie!", "Scusa!"… siamo anche educati… "Hop, scusa!", "Hop, scusa!"… ma giocate al calcio deficienti! Macché: "Hop, scusa!", "Hop, scusa!", "Bellissima la volée vincente del tornitore Brambilla!", "Hop, scusa!", "Hop, scusa!"… scusa un cazzo!!!
Intendiamoci, non ce l’ho mica con Guido Oddo io, ma perché i figli di Rizzoli non giocano al calcio, perché non abbiamo imposto i nostri gusti? Ecco Agnelli centravanti del Torino e Andreotti al Giro d’Italia questa è la "proletarizzazione"!
Devo aver detto una cazzata!
Sì lo so che nei gusti non c’è più lo scontro frontale ma allora dov’è? Bisognerà pur decidere: o avere dei nemici o giocare a tennis!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

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.
