Io Sono Francesco

I Am Francesco

Good morning, good morning, I am Francesco
I was a child who always laughed
But one day the teacher says today there's the assignment
Today you'll do the assignment, the assignment about dad.
I think it's a joke, I smile and get up
I go near her, I was happy
I tell her I don't remember, my father died early
I was only three years old, I don't remember, I don't remember.
You know what she tells me, she didn't even look at me
She was drinking a cappuccino, I don't know who she was talking to
She says 'they must have told you something
now go and do it like everyone else'
Damn bitch, the teacher
Damn bitch, the teacher
I went to my place, I remember the blank sheet
White like a void for twenty years in my brain
and then I cried, I don't know for how long I cried
on that blank sheet, I don't know for how long I cried
Sparkle sparkle the spark sparkles at the bottom of the sea
come children come girls and don't let it drown
take her hand and take her away far
and give her kisses and give her caresses and give her all the energies
The stars fall, it's dark and I can't see and the spring
is like winter, time doesn't exist, not even the sea water
and the air I can't breathe
and at twelve years old I was almost dead
I was in the hospital, I didn't eat anymore
then I cleaned the bathrooms, the windows, and the floors
for six seven years six hundred square meters
and my boss, my boss saved me
there are games there if you want you can play, the father is just a man
and men are many, choose the best one, follow him and learn
Good morning, good morning, I am Francesco
this morning I woke up early
deep in that void I invented a world
I smile, I take a sheet, I write long live Francesco
Sparkle sparkle the spark sparkles at the bottom of the sea
come children come girls don't let it drown
take her hand and take her away far
and give her kisses and give her caresses and give her all the energies
come children come girls
and tell her that the world can be different
everything can change, life can change
and it can become as you want to invent it
tell her that the sun will rise even in winter
that the night doesn't exist, look at the moon tell her that the night is a lie
that the sun is there even in the evening
