L'italiano ( Lasciatemi cantare ) Toto Cotugno

Let me sing
with a guitar in the hand
let me sing
I am an Italian
good morning Italy
Spaghetti al dente
and a insurgent (Italian who fought against Fascism) as President
with a radio in the right hand
and a canary on the window
Good morning Italy with your artists
with too much USA on posters
with songs, with love, with the heart
with women always less nuns
Good morning Italy, good morning Maria
with eyes full of sadness
Good morning God
Do you know that I'm here too
Let me sing
with a guitar in the hand
let me sing
a song slowly slowly
Let me sing
because I'm proud of it
I'm THE Italian
the real Italian
Good morning Italy
that isn't afraid
with shaving cream of mint
with a blue pinstriped suit
and the ror-ros on TV on Sunday
Good morning Italy with caffè ristretto (small strong coffee)
the new socks in the first drawer
with the flag at the dry cleaner's
with a broken 600 (a FIAT car)
Good morning Italy, good morning Maria
with eyes full of sadness
Good morning God
Do you know that I'm here too
Let me sing
with a guitar in the hand
let me sing
a song slowly slowly
Let me sing
because I'm proud of it
I'm THE Italian
the real Italian
Let me sing
with a guitar in the hand
let me sing
a song slowly slowly
Let me sing
because I'm proud of it
I'm THE Italian
the real Italian
