Quando la messa è finita
quando si incaglia la vita
quando soffia forte il vento
quando il lume sembra spento
e si fa scuro tutto attorno
e non c’è niente del Gran Giorno
puoi pregare d’incontrare
il gigante e il mago
Quando è finito il ballo
e non ci sono più parole
e il telefono è staccato
quando il treno è gia’ passato
quando non c’è più riscossa
quando il freddo è nelle ossa
solo allora puoi trovare
il gigante e il mago
Se il cane ciuffo non ritorna
ed era il solo tuo esemplare
e le caviglie non consegna
e non sai dove chiamare
e sei diventato grande
in una volta e in una stanza
dove sei restato solo
col gigante e il mago
Quando sei una human pignata
e la pazzo jacket si è accorciata
e non ti puoi liberare
dai colpi di legno e di bastone
dai petardi sul groppone
E se non c’è più dove andare
e non c’è più a chi ritornare
e la cicala ha gia’ cantato
e l’inverno ora è arrivato
e non hai porte da bussare
solo cartoni da rifare
ti puoi consolare
col gigante e il mago
E le lacrime hai raccolto
dentro agli occhi son restate
e i nostri giorni in mezzo al cielo
fanno un ricciolo lontano
e ti guardan nei cartoni
i tuoi anni ed il tuo amore
solo resti ad abbracciare
il gigante e il mago
Se all’inferno devo stare
gigante pensaci tu
cos’altro di meglio puoi sperare d’incontrare
che due compagni di magia
un colosso di bonta’
di meraviglia..TA DA!
E si fa e si disfa il cuore
come un artifici fuoco
ma niente me li può portare
via i miei giorni dell’incanto
quando fai passi da gigante
e la strada si trasforma
in un mantello
dove corri
troppo v’loce..
Le ragazze lui le incanta
e dopo un’ora le addormenta
e ha pianto lacrime tatuate
quando è morto il suo miale
solo un trucco mi ha insegnato
ed è quello di sparire
quando è l’ora di finire
col gigante e il mago
Il gigante che trasporta
fino al sole fino al cielo
E sa tutte le lingue
e cucina anche in cinese
può guidare 5 notti
e dormire 5 giorni
ti risvegli ed è lì ancora..
E se sarò vecchio e cadente
senza più un dente né un parente
avrò da parte
almeno il riso a ricordare
le brache abbassare into the field to rotolare ..
All’inferno voglio andare
con un gigante e un mago
in una sfera di meraviglia
rimbalzare
pieni di
magia magia magia ..
troppo v’loce..
All’inferno voglio andare..
in una sfera di meraviglia
con un colosso di bonta’
e di meraviglia
TA DA!
E i tamburi stanno zitti
e la grancassa tace
ma i tuoi bambini non lo sanno
e continuano a giocare
chiudi gli occhi e non sai quanto
quanto a lungo puoi durare
chiudi gli occhi e ti ritrovi
col gigante e il mago
Vinicio Capossela (born 14 December 1965) is a German-born Italian singer-songwriter. His style is strongly influenced by US singer and songwriter Tom Waits (Capossela repeatedly recorded his songs with the help of Waits' guitarist, Marc Ribot) though it also draws from the traditions of Italian folk music (especially those of Irpinia, the part of Campania where his family moved from in the 1950s). Capossela's lyrics are highly original and are often inspired by literary sources such as John Fante, Geoffrey Chaucer, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others.
