Una pagoda che si gonfia piano piano
un pellicano dalle penne blu
si gonfia piano piano par che scoppi
tu chiudi gli occhi e non ci pensi più
Cresce il progresso cresce l’oppressione
ti aggrappi ad un ricordo a un’illusione
fatta anche di pagode e pellicani
da mangiarsi le mani da mangiarsi le mani
Non c’è nessuno che protesta se
ti si spegne nella testa se
ti si spegne sulla bocca ogni fantasia molesta
perché non serve per il pane
allora mille affilate lame
ti si piantano nel cervello
ti taglian questo quest’altro e quello
per poi lasciarti senza pensieri
e vivi oggi domani e ieri
come se fossero giorni uguali
vogliono un mondo tutto pari
e se sei dispari non conviene
ed è per questo che voglio bene
alla pagoda al mio pellicano
che è poi lo stesso che dire amo
amo le strade anche quelle storte
purché mi portin via dalla morte
strade in discesa in salita in piano
strade in cui veda il mio pellicano
strade in cui veda il mio pellicano
strade in cui veda il mio pellicano
Una pagoda che si sgonfia piano piano
un pellicano che non c’è più
si sgonfia piano piano ed è rimasta
solo una lastra di asfalto blu
Una allegra melodia
il vostro canto funebre sarà
una dolce litania
i vostri funerali per le strade accompagnerà
I carri armati coi soldati
gli operai con gli studenti tanti
e i contadini donne uomini bambini
per le strade nelle piazze nei pochissimi giardini
che imbiancati fino a ieri ora esplodano di colori fiori
dalle bocche dei cannoni di quei mazzi cingolati
che guidati dal soldati ora sembrano trattori
pori della pelle dilatati che respirano di nuovo
le narici si riempiono di odori
mari di persone le bandiere come vele
fischia il vento da lontano si fa grande il pellicano
nelle ali ci raccoglie tutti quanti ci trasporta oltre le soglie
di un paese che le voglie
dei compagni in tanti anni hanno abbellito costruito e quegli affanni
se l’è inghiottita e vola via lontano
quel pellicano dalle penne blu
si gonfia gonfia gonfia par che scoppi
