Chi sono io chi sei tu?
Cos'è che ci fa essere così lontani
in cosa tutt'e due possiamo dirci umani
e se possiamo dirci umani che cosa ci divide
e cosa lega i nostri due destini indissolubilmente
che la distanza è tanta ma anche niente improvvisamente
chi sono?
chi sono questi qui che vanno avanti per le strade
in testa grandi carichi in braccio bimbi piccoli
ma così piccoli che sembrano infiniti
gli sguardi ammutoliti di ormai troppi lamenti
che ormai più non li senti
e sono coreografici elementi
di questa modernità che sembra una follia
talmente collettiva che non la vedi più
chi sono queste madri senza più un goccio di latte dentro la TV?
chi sono io?
chi sei tu?
siamo noi
in altre vite in altre latitudini
in altre compagnie in altre solitudini
siamo sempre inesorabilmente noi
uniti nell'abbraccio di una stella
divisi dentro al muro di una cella
chi sono?
chi sono questi qui intorno a un tavolo che parlano
con traduzioni simultanee di parole che non cambiano
che un giorno si sorridono e l'altro si accoltellano
e firmano con quegli inchiostri che poi si cancellano
promesse che poi non mantengono
e fuochi che si spengono
chi sono questi uomini che arrivano da in culo all'universo
e pensano che aldilà del mare lì può essere diverso
e allora partono
disperazione genera speranza
e si ritrovan dieci in una stanza
tra quattro muri di intolleranza
forse giustificabile nell'ottica di un popolo
che popolo non è neanche per niente
al massimo la puoi chiamare gente
chi sono questa gente
che un poco mi somiglia e un poco no
un po' è la mia famiglia e un poco no
un po' l'ammazzerei e un po' gli voglio bene
il sangue è sempre rosso
indipendentemente dalle vene
siamo noi
in altre vite in altre latitudini
in altre compagnie in altre solitudini
siamo sempre inesorabilmente noi
uniti dall'abbraccio di una stella
divisi dentro al muro di una cella
Jovanotti, real name Lorenzo Cherubini (Rome, September 27, 1966), is an Italian singer-songwriter considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary Italian music. His career began in the 1980s, launched by Claudio Cecchetto, and was characterized by a blend of rap and world music, always interpreted in an hip hop and funky style. Over the years, Jovanotti has progressively evolved his musical style, moving closer to the Italian songwriting tradition with lyrics that address philosophical, religious, and political themes. Alongside his musical career, Jovanotti has distinguished himself for his strong social and political commitment. A convinced pacifist, he has collaborated with organizations such as Emergency, Amnesty International, the Anti-Vivisection League (LAV), Nigrizia, and Data. He participated in demonstrations against public debt in the 1990s and in the movements No Excuses and Make Poverty History, taking part in Live8. Among his most representative songs are "My Girl", "Without Fear", "The Postman", "Boy of the Sea" and "The Essential".
