Ho 10 buoni motivi per vivere in Basilicata
Si ma tu ci sei mai stata? No, l'hai letto su un blog!
Conosco buoni motivi per vivere in Basilicata
Si ma tu ci sei mai andata? No, l'hai vista da un blog!

Si narra di un posto lontano, quasi non terreno
Bagnato da Aglianico, Ionio e Mar Tirreno
Luogo ideale per dare una svolta
Londra ormai è out, la Lucania è la risposta
Portaci i colleghi, i cugini, vienici a fare l'amore
Coi tipi della facoltà fai un figurone
In questa regione puoi usare l'immaginazione
Un capitale culturale oltre "Matera '19"
Welcome to Lucanyon, petti villosi come Mitch Buchannon
Posti grandiosi per te e la tua Canon
Pasti copiosi con la mamma, con la nonna
Eh la Madonna!
Anche il divino si è fermato ad Eboli
Noi rudi e selvaggi lui badava ai deboli
E poi non c'è la mafia ma fiaschi di vino e gliummariedd'
Non c'è la crisi, paghiamo coi pomodollari

Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
On my mind!

Una vita in apnea tra gli scogli...
Maratea, laddove la dea Natura sopra l'uomo si erge
Il pastore non è dittatore, bensì membro del gregge
Qua non si legge
La cultura si tramanda recitando mantra sotto pioppi e querce
Vestigia lerce di chi affonda le scarpe nello sterco per emergere
Abbiamo dentro l'heritage del paleolitico
Dai Sassi di Matera allo scenario dolomitico
Mitico, mitico, tutto mitico
Peccato non ci sia nessuno per goderne un minimo
Mille villaggi, mille favelle
Mille ortaggi, mille crespelle sotto il groove delle tarantelle
Mille paesaggi, mille donzelle
Triviale usare trivelle!
Meglio pochi vantaggi, ma molte stelle!
Quando giungi piangi, quando fuggi piangi
Chiama tutti quanti, popoliamo i campi!
Lo leggi su FB, al Tg, nei libri, sui siti
Dillo a tutti i tuoi amici: qua saremo felici!

Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
Tu che ne sai, l'hai vista mai, Basilicata is on my mind
On my mind!

I have 10 good reasons to live in Basilicata
Yeah, but have you ever been there? No, you read it on a blog!
I know good reasons to live in Basilicata
Yeah, but have you ever been there? No, you saw it on a blog!

They tell of a faraway place, almost unearthly
Bathed by Aglianico, the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas
The ideal place to make a change
London is out, Lucania is the answer
Bring your colleagues, your cousins, come make love here with me
You'll make a great impression with your college friends
In this region you can use your imagination
A cultural capital beyond "Matera '19"
Welcome to Lucanyon, hairy chests like Mitch Buchannon
Great places for you and your Canon
Hearty meals with mom, with grandma
Oh my God!
Even the divine one stopped at Eboli
We, rough and wild, he cared for the weak
And then there's no mafia but flasks of wine and "gliummariedd'" (wild fennel)
There's no crisis, we pay with "pomodollari" (tomato dollars)

Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
On my mind!

A life in apnea among the rocks...
Maratea, where Mother Nature rises above man
The shepherd is not a dictator, but a member of the flock
Here we don't read
Culture is handed down by reciting mantras under poplars and oaks
Dirty vestiges of those who sink their shoes in dung to emerge
We have within us the heritage of the Paleolithic
From the Sassi di Matera to the Dolomite scenery
Mythical, mythical, all mythical
Too bad there's no one to enjoy it in the least
A thousand villages, a thousand dialects
A thousand vegetables, a thousand crepes under the groove of the tarantella
A thousand landscapes, a thousand damsels
Trivial to use drills!
Better few advantages, but many stars!
When you arrive you cry, when you leave you cry
Call everyone, let's populate the fields!
You read it on FB, on the news, in books, on websites
Tell all your friends: here we will be happy!

Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
Ba-ba, Basilicata, Ba-ba, Basilicata
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
What do you know, have you ever seen it, Basilicata is on my mind
On my mind!

Woah woah woah woah
Oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah woah woah woah woah
Oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Basilicata
Woah oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah woah
Oh oh oh oh
Basilicata is on my mind
Basilicata
On my mind!
