Caro vecchio zio fascista
è vero che avete fatto un bel casino,
ricordo dai racconti di mia madre
che sei andato a Roma a piedi, da Milano.
A istinto io ti ho sempre giudicato
come uno che si accende e non ragiona
e ho fatto un po’ di facile ironia
senza capire mai la tua persona.
Direi che eri un po’ stupido e felice,
coerente con l’immagine del duce:
a ventun’anni avevi già una figlia,
la guerra tutta tua e l’idea della famiglia;
ai tempi in cui cadevano le bombe
mostravi con orgoglio il tuo coraggio,
eppure ti piaceva l’aria fresca
delle mattine limpide di maggio.
L’uomo è quasi sempre meglio
rispetto alla propria ideologia
ricordo quella volta che piangevi
e quanto stavi male per la zia;
del resto il segreto del fascismo
è nel simbolo del fascio littoriale
e appena un fascettino si è staccato
svanisce la sua forza criminale.
Caro vecchio zio fascista
a vederti innaffiare le tue rose
ancora non mi entra nella testa
come hai potuto fare certe cose;
sorridi accarezzando i tuoi nipoti
con una commozione così vera,
hai sempre avuto il cuore troppo tenero
e la testa troppo dura.
Negli uomini politici di oggi
c’è come un grosso salto di statura
ma c’hanno ancora il cuore troppo tenero
e la testa troppo dura.
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.
