(Testo e Musica Di Susanna Parigi)
Ore e ore piccola,
respirando polvere.
Stanchi i muscoli e la testa
per sentirsi dire poi:
"Così non va, puoi anche smettere".
E provare e riprovare
perché il ritmo entrasse in lei,
per uscire dal suo corpo
che dicevano pesante e scomodo.
Con quanta dignità
pensavo:
Lei ballerà leggera come l'aria,
bellissima, il mondo la vedrà.
E ballerà perché è la sua vita,
non sbaglierà perché conosce il male.
Qualche volta la guardavo
quando andavo a prenderla,
e pensavo: quanti sforzi,
la natura contro la sua volontà,
le guance umide...
Quando gli altri erano andati
lei restava ancora un pò.
Le domeniche d'agosto
mi diceva: "Tanto suderei così
anche fuori di qui".
Pensavo:
Lei ballerà leggera come l'aria
bellissima il mondo la vedrà.
E ballerà perché è la sua vita,
non sbaglierà perché conosce il male.
