Apre la strada
la vita e l’amore
chiude la strada
la morte e il dolore
limpida è l’aria
la palma è tranquilla
il fiume scorre
la luna non vede
che polvere e stelle
l’alba non sente
l’angoscia di noi
Piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
dal coraggio d’ordinanza e dalla noia
dalla gloria dal rancio e dagli eroi
e dalle..
lettere d’amore
La casa ci separa e ci avvelena
nessuno tornera’ più come prima
Filo spinato
cemento armato
occhi nascosti
ovunque per terra
la radio gracchia
la testa scuote
le buche e le ruote
il cielo è soltanto
una feritoia
un recinto blindato
di un vetro di Humvee
Il deserto è tranquillo
non c’è linea del fronte
pattuglia di guardia
a balia del nulla
nulla che esplode
rovente nell’aria
odore di gomma
e carne bruciata
e pezzi di cranio
cervella per terra
e pezzi di faccia
e pezzi di noi
meccanismi d’ossa
e protesi in cambio
e sangue drenato
e sangue versato
In sacchi di plastica
torna un soldato
e lascia effetti
foto e armadietti
e alcool in branda
pornografia
e giacche graduate
lucenti e stemmate
e soldi e coraggio
e contratti d’ingaggio
lascia un alloggio
e lascia..
lettere d’amore
Uccidere non è peccato se non sei ucciso tu
uccidere non è peccato se è regola e lavoro
50 metri
sparare al motore
a 20 nel vetro
a 10 nel cuore
non hai conosciuto
chi è che hai centrato
una croce nel vetro
nebulizzato
non era un soldato
non era un soldato
piccolo e armato..
Il cielo ora è più nero e non è fumo
nessuno tornera’ più come era
La notte è serena
la palma è tranquilla
il fiume scorre
Babilonia muta
resta nel sole
e non si importa di noi
Piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
piccoli soldati
piccoli e armati
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.
