Venezia - Francesco Guccini

Una storia accaduta tanto tempo fa' altrove
forse non ci riguarda neanche...

"Venice that dies
Venice lies on the sea
the sweet obsession
of her last sad days
Venice sells to tourist
seeking among people
Europe and East
looking to get up at night
the dirty smoke of Port Marghera

Stephanie was beautiful
Stefania was never hurt
she died in childbirth screaming
in bed sweating of a great hospital
she had twenty years and a husband
and the ring on the finger
Told me confused relatives
that almost breath
stumbled in her teeth

Venice is a hotel
San Marco is certainly
also the name of a pizzeria
the gondola costs
the gondola is just
a nice round of carousel
Stefania in the summer
played with me
in the empty Sunday of leisure
my mother spoke
her mother sold
Venice in the shop

Venice is also a dream
that you can buy
but you can't wake up
with the water to the throat
and a pain in the sea
Doge has changed home
and through a thousands windows
there's only the crying
of a baby who's born
there is only
the siren of Mestre

Stefania sinking
has left something
a magazine and a rose
on her nightstand
Stephanie has left a child
I don't know if her relatives
have really suffered
to see her die killed
die alone in a great hospital

Venice is a scam
that fills the head only fatality
the rest of the world
does not know anything
Venice is the people
who do not cares
Stefania is a baby
buy or sell Venice
will be her luck
maybe one day
we will be happy
to be just distant kindred"
