[Intro]
Let me sing
With the guitar in hand
Let me sing
I am an Italian
[Verse 1]
Good morning, Italy, with the spaghetti al dente
And a partisan as president
Always with the autoradio always in your right hand
And a canary above the window
Good morning, Italy, with your artists
With too much America on the billboards
With songs, with love, with heart
With always more women and fewer nuns
[Pre-Chorus]
Good morning, Italy, good morning, Maria
With those eyes full of melancholy
Good morning, God
You know I'm here too
[Chorus]
Let me sing
With this guitar in hand
Let me sing a song slowly
Let me sing
Because I'm proud of it
I am the Italian
A true Italian
[Verse 2]
Good morning, Italy, that doesn't get scared
With mint shaving cream
With a bluе pinstripe suit
And the football recaps on Sunday tv
Good morning, Italy with ristrеtto coffee
The new socks in the first drawer
With the flag at the dry cleaners
And a Seicento in the bodywork
[Pre-Chorus]
Good morning, Italy, good morning, Maria
With those eyes full of melancholy
Good morning, God
You know I'm here too
[Chorus]
Let me sing
With this guitar in hand
Let me sing a song slowly
Let me sing
Because I'm proud of it
I am the Italian
A true Italian
[Bridge]
Ta-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na
[Chorus]
Let me sing
With this guitar in hand
Let me sing a song slowly
Let me sing
Because I'm proud of it
I am the Italian
A true Italian
