Conoscete voi i dolori dei senzapatria
dei cacciadestino in libera caduta
dei trovatori di vanagloria
dei ricchi di spirito e dei pocavaluta?
Conoscete voi i senzabandiera
Che leggeri librano nell'aria
Con un bagaglio di vacanziera
E l'apparenza di una comprimaria?
Ci conoscete voi che di terra sotto i piedi
Sembrate averne a perdita d'occhio?
Che se giocate a carte oppure a dadi
Non rischiate il pettine né lo specchio?
Conoscete voi i cieli dei senzascarpe
Figli del loro incerto andare?
E del loro credere e del loro amore
Del loro viaggio nel nostro dolore...
Del loro verde peregrinare
A carponi sulla terra...
Conoscete voi l'indirizzo dei senzaparola
Dei disonorati dell'esistenza
L'appartamento, la museruola
Il monolocale senza una stanza?
Conoscete voi chi ha sfidato il mondo
Chi ha retto il vessillo della sera?
Con gli occhi del gatto e la mossa del mambo
E un tetto di stelle sulla visiera?
Conoscete voi il cuore inadeguato
Che si agita sul petto dei Sanspapier?
Che graffia il passo sul selciato
Che gonfia il cuore rosso sul gilet?
Conoscete voi i cieli dei senza scarpe
Figli el loro infinito errare
E del loro credere e del loro amore
Del loro viaggio nel nostro dolore
Del loro verde peregrinare
A carponi sulla terra...
