[P.A. Bertoli ]
Un bimbo raccoglie nel morbido viso l'amore che strappa il sorriso
La madre lo copre con oro ed argento e muore per farlo contento
Il padre si arma per fargli di scorta montando di guardia alla porta
Amato, protetto, coperto di lana, la vita è tenuta lontana
E passa quei giorni contento e beato perché non conosce il peccato
E niente lo sfiora e niente gli accade nutrito soltanto di fiabe
Allora la vita ti segna la faccia cambiandoti giorno per giorno
E ad ogni esperienza ti lascia la traccia che tu non raccogli all'intorno
Poi passano gli anni, finisce alla scuola e cambia per tutti alla fola
L'amico più brutto, l'amico più bello e quello di un altro livello
E nella sua mente germoglia il pensiero
Distingue già il rosso e il nero
Impara la storia, il nome dei santi, impara ad odiare i briganti
E quando il nemico verrà alla partita la patria ti chiede la vita
La patria, la legge, la fede, l'onore è fumo che chiamano amore
Allora la vita ti segna la faccia?
C'è un uomo che passa su un bolide rosso, ti schizza del fango da un fosso
Se il vescovo parla in un giorno di festa tu devi chinare la testa
Per il tuo padrone, per il tuo signore, sei merce di scarso valore
Sei forza, lavoro, dai piedi alla chioma sei solo una bestia da soma
Venduta la mente per quattro parole, avuto il tuo posto nel sole
E quando tu parli non è la ragione, sei solo un juke-box a gettone
Allora la vita ti segna la faccia?
Hai preso una moglie, è nato un germoglio, lo guardi con tenero orgoglio
Sarà accarezzato, nutrito, difeso quell'angelo appena disceso
Andrà alla tua scuola, avrà il tuo pensiero,
Berrà dal tuo stesso vangelo
E come suo padre farà la trafila, andrà a ingrossare le fila
Avrà i suoi padroni, avrà i suoi maestri, un mucchio di sogni modesti
E come suo padre juke-box a gettone starà nel suo bravo cantone
Allora la vita ti segna la faccia?

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
