Marino + Lana
You could have waited at least for the train to stop completely.
What should I do at the station in Portogruaro poor as I am?
Buy some newspapers and pretend to wait for the next train?
Or get drunk in the station bistro with the people waiting for nothing
of whom not one remembers when his wife ran away
At the newsagent’s a magazine which says reveals all love secrets
And why we fall in love and why we must love.
I’m buying it, I sit on a bench and leave out the head topic.
It’s better to read a story about red uakaris which
to impress the females and make the other males ashamed
Climb the top of a dried tree trunk and sway it sway till it breaks.
And I climb, Lana, climb the station lamppost
Perhaps you will see me even tonight in some news
Where the other monkeys shake hands, sign peace agreements
declare wars, shout in the stock market and are full of themselves.
And not even one of those monkeys, Lana, has come so high
On the very top of love in Portogruaro so high like I have.
