Stranizza D'amuri

Franco Battiato · Last Summer Dance Live [2010]

'Ndo vadduni da Scammacca

i carritteri ogni tantu

lassaunu i loru bisogni

e i muscuni ciabbulaunu supra

jeumu a caccia di lucettuli...

'a litturina da ciccum-etnea

i saggi ginnici 'u Nabuccu

'a scola sta finennu.



Man manu ca passunu i jonna

sta frevi mi trasi 'nda lI'ossa

'ccu tuttu ca fora c'รจ 'a guerra

mi sentu stranizza d'amuri... I'amuri

e quannu t'ancontru 'nda strata

mi veni 'na scossa 'ndo cori

'ccu tuttu ca fora si mori

na' mori stranizza d'amuri... I'amuri.
