(Jovanotti, M.Canova Jorfida)
Armonica Edoardo Bennato
Le navi partono per mare
ma il cuore resta qua
gli dei ci truccano le carte
per confondere la verita'
C'e' scritto nella bibbia che il signore
si servi' di una puttana per entrare a Gerico
e Venere era strabica Beehtoven era sordo
ed era bassa e mora Marylin Monroe
e Superman si veste in giacca e cravatta
per nascondere ai terrestri la sua vera identita'
il diavolo ha una fabbrica di pentole
ma per quanto possa insistere i coperchi non li fa
Colombo navigo' fino ai Caraibi ma poi non ballo'
la salsa con la gente che incontro'.
Mosi guido' il suo popolo alle porte di Israele
ma mori' la' sulla soglia e non entro'
E tutti quanti ballano sul ritmo giusto
e intanto Penelope tesse la sua tela
nell'ora di punta
Cenerentola si e' presa una sbandata
pero' sa che a mezzanotte tutto quanto finira'
allora si organizza perche' dopo mezzanotte
qualche cosa resti mentre tutto scorre e se ne va
e Giuda non si e' mai capito bene
se quel bacio fu un tradimento o la piy grande fedelta'
e Chiara era una ricca signorina
che divenne ancor piy ricca quando amo' la poverta'
le navi partono per marte
ma il cuore resta qua
gli Dei ci truccano le carte
per confondere la verita'
e intanto Penelope tesse la sua tela
nell'ora di punta
e intanto Penelope tesse la sua tela
nell'ora di punta
e tutti quanti ballano sul ritmo giusto
nell'ora di punta
e tutti quanti ballano sul ritmo giusto
se io mangio due polli e tu nessuno
statisticamente noi ne abbiam mangiato
uno per uno
e intanto Penelope tesse la sua tela
nell'ora di punta
Leonardo seziono' diversa gente per scoprire
che la mente non si vede ma ce l'hai
e Nobel invento' la dinamite ed il premio per la
pace per chi non la usasse mai
e Dante identifico' l'amore nel profilo di Beatrice
pero' un'altra lui sposo'
e Marley era figlio di una nera e di un marinaio bianco
ed il mondo conquisto'
Mercurio c'ha le ali alle caviglie e i messaggi li
consegna anche se uno non li aspetta
e Fred scopri' che quando il ritmo e' giusto
non ha niente a che vedere con quello della lancetta
Adamo mori' e venne seppellito con un seme nella bocca
e quel seme germoglio'
divenne un grande albero
ci fecero una croce e quella croce Gesu Cristo sanguino'
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".
