Le donne di atene


( Chico Buarque de Hollanda / traduzione di E.Finardi & A.Camerini )

Dovreste prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
Che vivon per i loro mariti, orgoglio e razza di Atene
Tutto il giorno si son profumate
Lavate nel latte e pettinate per
Esser amate
Se fustigate non piangeranno
Ma anzi proprio loro imploreranno
Più dure pene
Catene

Cercate di prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
Che soffron per i loro mariti, potere e forza di Atene
Quando essi partono soldati
Intessono lunghi teli ricamati
Per settimane
E quando tornano affamati
Di baci con violenza strappati e
Carezze piene
Oscene

Dovreste prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
Che perdonano ai loro mariti, i bravi guerrieri di Atene
Quando si ingozzano di vino per
Trovare il coraggio di aver vicino
Altre falene
Ma poi alla fine della notte , spossati
Son quasi sempre ritornati dalle
loro piccine
Elene

Cercate di prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
che generano ai loro mariti i nuovi figli di Atene
Non hanno alcun gusto ne volontà
Non han difetti ne qualità
Lo sanno bene
Non hanno sogni ma solo presagi
Per i loro uomini e il mare e i naufragi e
Belle sirene
Morene

Dovreste prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
Che temon per i moro mariti, gli eroi e gli amanti di Atene
Dalle giovani vedove segnate
E dalle gestanti abbandonate che
Non fanno scene
Vestite del nero di chi é rassegnato
Di chi ha oramai già accettato il Fato
Senza più pene Sono serene

Cercate di prendere esempio da quelle mogli di Atene
Che vivono per i loro mariti, orgoglio e razza di Atene

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
