 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra in 
 lasciatemi cantare
  canzone piano piano
 lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
 Buongiorno Italia  spaghetti al dente
 e un partigiano come 
 con l’autoradio sempre nella mano 
 un canarino  la finestra
 Buongiorno Italia con i suoi 
 con troppa America  manifesti
 con  canzoni, con amore,
 con il cuore
 con più donne sempre meno 
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli occhi pieni di 
 buongiorno Dio
 lo sai che ci sono 
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra in 
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne  fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero
 
 Buongiorno Italia che non  spaventa
 con la crema da barba da 
  un vestito gessato sul blu
 e la moviola  domenica in TV
  Italia col caffe’ ristretto
 le calze nuove  primo cassetto
 con  bandiera in tintoria
 e una 600  di carrozzeria
 Buongiorno Italia
 buongiorno Maria
 con gli occhi  di malinconia
 buongiorno Dio
 lo  che ci sono anch’io
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra in 
 lasciatemi cantare
 una  piano piano
 Lasciatemi cantare
  ne sono fiero
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.
 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 con la chitarra  mano
 lasciatemi cantare
 una canzone piano 
 Lasciatemi cantare
 perché ne sono 
 sono l’italiano
 l’italiano vero.

 English translation:
 
 Let me sing
  the guitar in my hands
 Let me sing
 I’m an Italian
 
 Good morning Italy, the spaghetti  dente [1]
 And a partisan for president 
 With the car radio always in the  hand [3]
 And a canary over  window
 
 Good morning Italy with  artists [4]
 Too much America  the posters [5]
 With songs, with love, with 
 With more  less and less nuns [6]
 
 Good  Italy, good morning Maria [7]
 With eyes full  melancholy
  morning my God
 You  that I’m here too [8]
 
 Let me  with the guitar in my hand
 Let me sing  song softly softly
 Let  sing because I’m proud of that
 I’m an Italian,  real Italian
 
  morning Italy that is not afraid at all
 With the mint  foam
 With a gessato dress  blue [9]
 And the moviola on Sunday on the  [10]
 
  morning Italy with espresso coffee
 New  in the first drawer
 With the  in the laundry
 And a Seicento  an old bodywork [11]
 
 Good morning Italy, good morning 
 With  eyes of melancholy
 Good  my God
 You know  I’m here too
 
  me sing with the guitar in my hand
 Let me  a song softly softly
 Let me sing  I’m proud of that
 I’m  Italian, a real Italian

 --------------
 [1] Spaghetti al dente means Spaghetti not very cooked; in Italy it is a long  issue the problem of how long to cook spaghetti. In the south it is preferred to boil them not very much, while in the north they are boiled for a lot of time (spaghetti scotti).
 [2] In the 80’s the president of the Italian Republic was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against the fascism during the Second  War.
 [3] In  nouveau riche Italy of the 80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known that Italy is the country of saints,  and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political  after the Second World War the Italian culture was invaded by the American myth, il mito Americano.
 [6] There are two different meanings of this verse. The first one is related to  social analysis: in the modern Italy the number of nuns decreased due to secularization of the society. The second one is moral: women of our times forgot the holy principles of the ancient society; note that in Italy is usual to call suora, nun, a girl that doesn’t go with a man if he doesn’t have serious intentions (marriage).
 [7] Maria  la Madonna, the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is  key of the interpretation of the text. The Author, with eyes full of melancholy for seeing Italy in so bad conditions, is frightened of God having forgot him.
 [9] Gessato is  elegant suit.
 [10] Moviola is the replay of the relevant moments of the football matches of the day, on Sunday evening. Football matches were played on Sunday but it was not possible to see  live on television, so Moviola was very popular.
 [11] Seicento (600) was a very popular small car produced by FIAT Auto, the symbol of Italian industry (now in deep crisis). The fact the auto has an old bodywork is another symbol of the moral decandence of Italy  the 80’s.
 [12] Full  desperation, Toto didn’t find words to express his thoughts.
