Lucio Battisti - Una giornata uggiosa (1980)
I dream of a countryside cemetery and me there
In the shade of an age-less cherry tree in bloom
To rest a little, two or three hundred years
Just to understand more and placate the fatigues
I dream of finding you beside me at my awakening
Intact with the same pink pants
Not anymore the flag of a lively torment
But just the ornament of a beautiful bride
chorus
But what's the colour of a gloomy day?
But what's the taste of a badly-spent life?
But what's the colour of a gloomy day?
But what's the taste of a badly-spent life?
I dream of hugging a real friend
Who doesn't want to take revenge on me for a bitter moment of his
And righteous people who refuse to be the prey
Of easy enthusiasms and fashionable ideologies
chorus
But what's the colour of a gloomy day?
But what's the taste of a badly-spent life?
But what's the colour of a gloomy day?
But what's the taste of a badly-spent life?
(But what's the colour)
(But what's the colour)
(But what's the colour)
I dream of my town, dignified at last (But what's the colour)
And a river with fishes alive one hour from home (But what's the colour)
Without having to dream the ever-New Zealand (But what's the colour)
To get away from you, poisonous Brianza
But what's the colour (But what's the colour)
Una giornata uggiosa
A gloomy day
But what's the taste (But what's the taste)
Of a badly spent life (But what's the colour)
But what's the colour (But what's the colour)
A gloomy day
But what's the taste (But what's the taste, but what's the taste)
Of a badly spent life (But what's the colour)
outro
But what's the colour (But what's the colour)
But what's the taste (But what's the taste)
(Ma che colore ha)
(But what's the colour)
But what's the colour (But what's the colour)
But what's the taste (But what's the taste, but what's the taste)
