 English translation:
 
 Let me sing
  the guitar in my hands
 Let me sing
 I’m an Italian
 
  morning Italy, the spaghetti al dente [1]
  a partisan for president [2]
  the car radio always in the right hand [3]
 And  canary over the window
 
 Good morning  with your artists [4]
 Too  America on the posters [5]
 With songs, with  with heart
 With more women less and  nuns [6]
 
 Good morning Italy,  morning Maria [7]
 With eyes  of melancholy
 Good  my God

 Let me sing with the guitar in  hand
 Let me sing a  softly softly
 Let  sing because I’m proud of that
  an Italian, a real Italian
 
 Good morning  that is not afraid at all
 With  mint shaving foam
 With a gessato  in blue [9]
 And the moviola on Sunday on the TV 
 
 Good morning Italy with espresso 
 New socks  the first drawer
 With  flag in the laundry
 And a Seicento  an old bodywork [11]
 
 Good morning Italy,  morning Maria
 With sweet eyes of 
 Good morning my

 [1] Spaghetti al dente  Spaghetti not very cooked; in Italy it is a long standing 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  was Sandro Pertini; he was a partisan against the fascism during the Second World War.
 [3] In the nouveau riche Italy of  80’s the car radio was a status symbol.
 [4] It is well known  Italy is the country of saints, poets, and sailormans…
 [5] The first of a series of verses full of political criticism: after the Second  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 a social analysis: in the modern  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).
  Maria is la Madonna, the mother of Christ.
 [8] This is the key of  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  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 in the 80’s.
 [12] Full of desperation, Toto didn’t find words to express  thoughts.
