I cento passi (Live at Estragon, Bologna / 2014)

È nato nella terra dei vespri e degli aranci
Tra Cinisi e Palermo parlava alla sua radio
Negli occhi si leggeva la voglia di cambiare
La voglia di Giustizia che lo portò a lottare
Aveva un cognome ingombrante e rispettato
Di certo in quell'ambiente da lui poco onorato
Si sa dove si nasce ma non come si muore
E non se un'ideale ti porterà dolore
Ma la tua vita adesso puoi cambiare
Solo se sei disposto a camminare
Gridando forte senza aver paura
Contando cento passi lungo la tua strada
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
Poteva come tanti scegliere e partire
Invece lui decise di restare
Gli amici, la politica, la lotta del partito
Alle elezioni si era candidato
Diceva da vicino li avrebbe controllati
Ma poi non ebbe tempo perché venne ammazzato
Il nome di suo padre nella notte non è servito
Gli amici disperati non l'hanno più trovato
Allora dimmi se tu sai contare
E dimmi se sai anche camminare
Contare, camminare insieme a cantare
La storia di Peppino e degli amici siciliani
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
Era la notte buia dello Stato Italiano
Quella del nove maggio settantotto
La notte di via Caetani, del corpo di Aldo Moro
L'alba dei funerali di uno Stato
Allora dimmi se tu sai contare
Dimmi se sai anche camminare
Contare, camminare insieme a cantare
La storia di Peppino e degli amici siciliani, allora
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 passi

The Hundred Steps (Live at Estragon, Bologna / 2014)

He was born in the land of vespers and oranges
Between Cinisi and Palermo he spoke on his radio
In his eyes there was a desire to change
The desire for justice that led him to fight
He had a daunting and respected surname
Certainly in that environment, little honored by him
We know where we are born but not how we will die
And not whether an ideal will bring you sorrow
But now you can change your life
Only if you are willing to walk
Shouting loud without being afraid
Counting a hundred steps along your road
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
He could have chosen to leave like so many others
Instead he decided to stay
His friends, politics, the party's struggle
He had run for office in the elections
He said he would have controlled them up close
But then he didn't have time because he was killed
His father's name was of no use that night
His desperate friends never found him again
So tell me if you can count
And tell me if you also know how to walk
Counting, walking and singing together
The story of Peppino and his Sicilian friends
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
It was the dark night of the Italian State
That of the ninth of May seventy-eight
The night of Via Caetani, of Aldo Moro's body
The dawn of the funerals of a State
So tell me if you can count
Tell me if you also know how to walk
Counting, walking and singing together
The story of Peppino and his Sicilian friends, then
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100 steps
