La notte in cui mi tolsi l’armatura
scopersi qualche ammaccatura
graffi superficiali
indolenziti i muscoli dorsali
ma piccoli problemi
capii di stare meglio senza freni
senza tante paure
né chiodi o serrature
i movimenti certo un po’ impacciati
dopo tanto legati
poi liberi e contenti
di tornare normali
la notte in cui mi tolsi l’armatura
mi misi anche gli occhiali
sul naso di chi
non vede che qui
è tutto l’opposto
di un mondo che è a posto
sul naso di chi
non vede che qui
è pieno di chiodi
e dice “che modi, che modi, che modi”
e c’è pure quello che vede le stelle
e dice “che stelle, che stalle, che stalle”
e c’è suo fratello che vede una pelle
e dice “che palle, che palle, che palle”
e il loro cugino che non s’affatica
che non s’affatica nemmeno a parlare
e parla che sembra
che sembra un giornale
stampato anche male
stampato anche male
e poi conoscenti, amici, e parenti
cognati ed affini,
lontani e vicini
non fanno mai sforzi
non vanno mai avanti
e sono contenti, contenti, contenti
felici di stare dentro l’armatura
la vogliono dura, più dura, più dura
che no, non ci passi un po’ di fantasia
che fa solo male
poi c’è nostra zia
che fa i rigatoni, -gatoni, -gatoni
che son tanto buoni, ma buoni, ma buoni
ci sono armature di tutti i colori
di tutte le forme, di tutti i valori
di mille misure, pesanti e leggere,
son tutte armature
son tutte armature
e se c’è qualcuno che muove il suo labbro
e tenta d'uscire
gli mandano un fabbro
ed ecco che arriva, mi stringe una mano
in un guanto di ferro, mi serra anche l’ano,
e poi chiede aiuto ad un certo Guglielmo
mi tengono fermo, mi fissano l’elmo
abbassan pian piano
la nera celata
la bocca la voglion
tappata tappata
tappata tappata
Paolo Pietrangeli (Rome, 1930 – Rome, 2018) was an Italian singer-songwriter, poet, and film director. Considered one of the most important songwriters in the Italian music scene, he marked Italian music with his unique style, characterized by poetic lyrics and original melodies. Pietrangeli rose to prominence in the 1960s, collaborating with artists like Mina and Gino Paoli. His music often focuses on social and political themes, but it also features moments of great lyricism and sensitivity. Among his most famous songs are "My House", "The Sky in a Room" and "One Hour Alone". Pietrangeli also directed several films, including "The Man Who Laughs" (1967) and "Days of Love" (1970).
