La parola io
è un'idea che si fa strada a poco a poco
nel bambino suona dolce come un'eco
è una spinta per tentare i primi passi
verso un'intima certezza di se stessi.
La parola io
con il tempo assume
un tono più preciso
qualche volta rischia
di esser fastidioso
ma è anche il segno
di una logica infantile
è un peccato ricorrente ma veniale.
Io, io, io
ancora io.
Ma il vizio dell'adolescente
non si cancella con l'età
e negli adulti stranamente
diventa più allarmante e cresce.
La parola io
è uno strano grido
che nasconde invano
la paura di non essere nessuno
è un bisogno esagerato
e un po' morboso
è l'immagine struggente del Narciso.
Io, io, io
e ancora io.
Io che non sono nato
per restare per sempre
confuso nell'anonimato
io mi faccio avanti
non sopporto l'idea di sentirmi
un numero fra tanti
ogni giorno mi espando
io posso essere il centro del mondo.
Io sono sempre presente
son disposto a qualsiasi bassezza
per sentirmi importante
devo fare presto
esaltato da questa mania
di affermarmi ad ogni costo
mi inflaziono, mi svendo
io voglio essere il centro del mondo.
Io non rispetto nessuno
se mi serve posso anche far finta
di essere buono
devo dominare
sono un essere senza ideali
assetato di potere
sono io che comando
io devo essere il centro del mondo.
Io vanitoso, presuntuoso
esibizionista, borioso, tronfi o
io superbo, megalomane, sbruffone
avido e invadente
disgustoso, arrogante, prepotente
io, soltanto io
ovunque io.
La parola io
questo dolce monosillabo innocente
è fatale che diventi dilagante
nella logica del mondo occidentale
forse è l'ultimo peccato originale.
Io.
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.
