La preghiera del matto


Io sono l'ospite che vaga dentro ad un cortile
con il pensieo lento più del passo,
come un maiale nero abbandonato in un porcile
a cui si tira un sasso.

I miei ricordi del passato non ho più
per il troppo dormire.
E' tutto quanto confiscato e non c'è più:
l'hanno fatto sparire.

Oh Gesù mio, figlio di Dio,
abbi pietà di tuo figlio.
Oh Gesù mio, oh Gesù mio,
lascia un sorriso per me.

Io sono il peso su coscienze poco attente alla vita,
opulente e sposate tra loro.
Sono la carta rovinata dentro alla partita,
canto fuori dal coro
e mangio pane a bevo vino che non ha
più quel santo sapore
e devo chiudere la porta sopra al mio
vergognoso dolore.

Oh Gesù mio, figlio di Dio,
abbi pietà di tuo figlio.
Oh Gesù mio, oh Gesù mio,
lascia un sorriso per me.

Oh Gesù mio, figlio di Dio,
abbi pietà di tuo figlio.
Oh Gesù mio, oh Gesù mio,
lascia un sorriso per me.

Sono il custode di una cattedrale abbandonata
senza minimi cenni di vita.
Sono la rondine a cui l'ala è stata frantumata
ad estate finita.
Nella voragine dei miei silenzi c'è
il destino di un uomo,
ma della voglia di morire chiusa in me
io non chiedo perdono.

Oh Gesù mio, figlio di Dio,
abbi pietà di tuo figlio.
Oh Gesù mio, oh Gesù mio,
lascia un sorriso per me.

Oh Gesù mio, figlio di Dio,
abbi pietà di tuo figlio.
Oh Gesù mio, oh Gesù mio,
lascia un sorriso per me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
